12-year-old cellist Sofia Hernández-Williams from Holden, Massachusetts, joins the North Shore Philharmonic Orchestra and Maestro Robert Lehmann for the first movement of Édouard Lalo’s Cello Concerto in D Minor. Although Lalo was French, Sofia points out that his music also includes Spanish influences. “I think you’ll hear some of those elements in his cello concerto – in the fiery and passionate passages and the sweet and delicate moments,” says Sofia. “I really enjoyed working on this piece, and I hope you’ll enjoy it too!”
