Kalle-Pekka Koponen, a Finnish cellist currently on the exchange programme at the Royal Academy of Music in London, opens our Festival Début strand – see here for more details. He brings us a chronological sweep of duo sonatas and a work from his homeland’s most famous composer, before Andrew’s troika of solo piano arrangements prepares us for Paganini’s outrageous virtuoso variations on ‘Dal tuo stellato soglio’ from Rossini’s Moses in Egypt. For more Gershwin arrangements, see Fri 4th, and Mon 7th morning & afternoon, and if you love Rossini opera, see Fri 4th
