The concert season at Tippet Rise concludes with a debut performance by cellist Camille Thomas alongside returning pianist Julien Brocal. Frequent collaborators, the two will play a mixed program of works by Chopin and August Franchomme, composers who were not only contemporaries during the early 19th century, but also close friends. Julien Brocal is also a longtime friend of Tippet Rise, having spent several weeks in residency here to record his 2018 album Reflections. We are delighted to welcome him back, and excited for new project that he and Camille Thomas will record at Tippet Rise this year.
