Cellist Alisa Weilerstein is a familiar name to Rudolfinum audiences, celebrated for her extraordinary artistry. This season, however, she reveals a new dimension of her creativity with an excerpt from her Fragments project—two thoughtfully conceived multimedia cycles that weave together Bach’s legendary cello suites with newly commissioned works by contemporary composers, written specifically for her.

In Alisa Weilersteins FRAGMENTS, new commissions by 27 different composers are interwoven with the six Bach Cello Suites, from which Alisa has curated this 6-part collection. Underscored with bespoke lighting, scenic architecture and costume design from a world-class team of creatives, each of the six FRAGMENTS embodies it's own striking identity that transforms the Bach Cello suites in turn: Wonder – Tumult – Emergence – Labyrinth – Lament – Radiance.
Each FRAGMENTS performance is around 60 minutes of music with no pause, no programme, in which Alisa invites the audience to simply immerse themselves in the dramatic power of live performance.
Czech Philharmonic presents the first two parts of the series:
FRAGMENTS 1 - Wonder:
Allison Loggins-Hull, Gili Schwarzman, Joan Tower, Johann Sebastian Bach, Reinaldo Moya, Chen Yi
FRAGMENTS 2 - Tumult:
Alan Fletcher, Ana Sokolovic, Caroline Shaw, Daniel Kidane, Gity Razaz, Johann Sebastian Bach
