Leland Ko - Cellist, Miami Premier Performance "Volksgeist"

RK Cultural Productions proudly presents Leland Ko for his first Miami-area appearance. This young cellist of Canadian Chinese descent is a graduate of Princeton, New England Conservatory, and Juilliard and brings to the Aventura Arts & Cultural Center the music of Kodaly, Bartok, and Bright Sheng, all resplendent with invigorating folk themes.

Leland is fascinated with folk music—not just as a link between popular music and classical music but as a bridge between classical musicians and people worldwide.

This program is not just a collection of vibrant and invigorating music for cello and piano. It's a celebration of the dance and the spirit of life that so many cultures share. The term “Volksgeist” may translate from German as “people’s spirit,” but it embodies a broader concept of a national or shared cultural spirit.

Don’t miss this performance by a young virtuoso making waves among the new generation of cellists worldwide.
