Cello recital

Truro Three Arts cello and piano recital.

The next Truro Three Arts concert will be a recital by cellist Tim Gill and pianist Fali Pavri. They will perform cello sonatas by Debussy, Poulenc and Franck.

Tim Gill began to play the cello at the age of eight, subsequently studying in Paris, Cambridge and at the Royal Academy. In 1989-90 Tim was resident artist at the Banff Centre, Canada, where he won the Banff concerto competition and was invited to play the Elgar concerto with the Calgary Philharmonic, and later to tour Canada as a recitalist.

Tim has given recitals and played concertos throughout the UK, Europe, and India. In 1995 he recorded Beethoven’s complete works for cello and piano for Dutch radio with Marietta Petkova, and in 1996 he gave his Wigmore Hall debut and released two CDs on the Guild label. Tim is principal cellist with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra and the London Sinfonietta. He has also held the post of principal cellist with English National Opera.

Fali Pavri enjoys a busy international career as soloist, chamber musician and teacher. Fali had his first piano lessons in his native city of Mumbai, India and he studied for seven years at the Moscow Conservatory, where he graduated with distinction. While pursuing postgraduate studies at the Royal Academy of Music, he was invited by the great Russian cellist Mstislav Rostropovich to be his pianist on an extensive concert tour of India. This was followed by his London debut at the Purcell Room and concerts in prestigious venues around the world.

“Timothy Gill and Fali Pavri elicit a searing lyricism bringing tremendous sense of direction to the melodic invention which can so easily meander in lesser hands”
