Classical IPR talks to Kyle Stachnik about upcoming concert with the TC Phil where he will play Ned Rorem's Cello Concerto.

Kyle Stachnik is a cellist, an Interlochen alum, and co-founder of Viridian Strings.
On Sunday November 15th he will be making his Traverse City Philharmonic debut playing Ned Rorem's Cello Concerto.

Stachnik talked with Classical IPR about what this makes this an interesting concerto from influences from Rorem's time in France to unique instrumentation in moments of many movements. This cello concerto is not often performed, so Stachnik is able to bring his artistry to the forefront and bring lesser-heard music by an American composer to new listeners.
