MONROE - New York cellist Benjamin Capps will present a one-hour concert at 2 p.m. Sunday, Oct. 13 at the Monroe Arts Center.
This is the second of three concerts scheduled as part of the 2013-2014 Sunday Concert Series.
Capps' performance has been praised as "most appealing" by the New York Times. He has been a soloist, chamber musician, and orchestral principal. His recently released recording of Andrew Violette's "Songs and Dances" won raves from the Holland Times which hailed Capps a "young cello phenomenon" with "dazzling technique."
He has performed at such prestigious venues as Carnegie Hall, Lincoln Center, the Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, Mann Hall in Tel Aviv, Meyerson Hall in Dallas, and the Auditorio Nacional, the Palace of Fine Arts and Sala Nezahualcoytl in Mexico City. He has appeared as soloist with the Philharmonic Orchestra of the Americas, the Juilliard Pre-College Symphony, the Manhattan School of Music Composer's Orchestra and the New York Concerti Sinfonietta.
He has been a teaching assistant at Juilliard since 2009. Since 2008, he has taught in Philharmonic Orchestra of the America's Arts and Education Program, a program that encourages artistic creativity by introducing New York City public school students to the fundamentals of music composition.
