Arizona Daily Sun: Around the Town: Cello champion Haimovitz to perform at NAU’s Ashurst Hall

March 28, 2018

One of the best cellists in the world is coming to Northern Arizona University. The School of Music Horizons Concert Series is hosting Bach Listening Room with cellist Matt Haimovitz. Haimovitz will perform at 7:30 p.m., Monday, April 2, in Ashurst Hall.

Renowned as a musical pioneer, Haimovitz was praised by The New York Times as a “ferociously talented cellist who brings his megawatt sound and uncommon expressive gifts to a vast variety of styles.” A review in The New Yorker magazine said Haimovitz is a “remarkable virtuoso” who “never turns in a predictable performance.”

Tickets are $20 adults, $12.50 for seniors and NAU employees, and free for children and students with ID. Tickets are available at the NAU Central Ticket Office, located in the University Union, at nau.edu/cto or 523-5661

Free parking for the Horizons Concert Series is available in Lots P3 (behind Gammage), P8 (north of the College of Education on Knoles Dr.), and P4 (ADA stalls near Ashurst – must have hangtag). Visit nau.edu/maps for directions.
