Concert Series – Cristoph Croise, Cello & Oxana Shevchenko, Piano

Christoph Croisé & Oxana Shevchenko

Christoph Croisé – Lauded for ‘delicate yet virtuosic’ playing (BBC Music Magazine) and ‘seamless subtleties of tone colour’ with ‘plenty of edge’ (The Strad), Swiss-French-German cellist Christoph Croisé is quickly building an international reputation as one of the most captivating young concert soloists to emerge in recent years. At the age of 17, he made his New York debut at Carnegie Hall, where he has performed on several occasions since. He also appears regularly in world-renowned concert halls including the Tonhalle Zurich, the Konzerthaus Vienna, the Philharmonie Berlin, the Wigmore Hall London, the Residenz Munich, the Elbphilharmonie Hamburg, and others.

Oxana Shevchenko – Internationally recognised as a pianist of outstanding artistry, sensibility, and versatility. She is equally in demand both as a soloist and as a chamber musician. In 2010, Oxana won First Prize at the Scottish International Piano Competition. Shortly after, she worked with Delphian Records on her debut recording (2011), featuring works by Shostakovich, Mozart, Liszt, and Ravel. A keen chamber musician, Oxana has collaborated with artists such as the Kopelman Quartet, Brodsky Quartet, Ray Chen, Narek Hakhnazaryan, Alena Baeva, Christoph Croisé, and Isabel Villanueva.
