You heard the beautiful performance here by John Pablo.
And I'm having the pleasure right now to have a few words with you.
That was extraordinary.
- Thank you so much.
It's really a pleasure to be here.
- Yes.
And what inspired you to play the cello?
- Well, it was an option to be in elementary school and it was just immediately a click for me.
And I think a lot of my friends were into the program, but when I started playing, I really thought like, yeah, like this could be something I could do.
- So what did you play for us today?
- I played Elgar Cello Concerto Fourth Movement.
It's a very demanding piece in the repertoire for cello.
It's very famous and tragically, it's one of his last composed pieces.
- [Satori] And your pianist, what's his name?
- [John] Blake Pruneau, a brilliant pianist.
I'm happy to have been collaborating with Blake for a little over a year now.
- It was so enjoyable to hear you.
- Thank you.
