Time | Caroline Stinson
Canadian cellist Caroline Stinson presents a compelling program of music for cello with piano and electronics in her Merkin Hall solo recital debut this November.

Brought about by a series of events going back to 2009, when she attended a seminar with Finnish cellist Anssi Karttunen, Time is the context for the works presented, a perspective that is continually changing.
