The Secret Garden at the Rectory

<h3>Thursday, April 7 | 5pm, 6:30pm</h3><h3>The Immortal Beloved: Love Through the Sound of the Cello</h3><h3>Amit Peled, cello | Allison Freeman, piano</h3>After a breathtaking debut with sold-out performances in the Secret Garden in April 2021, internationally renowned Israeli-American cellist Amit Peled and his 1695 instrument by the Italian master Giovanni Grancino make a return appearance for a program built around the passion, seduction, longing, and despair of Beethoven and Brahms’s hidden love affairs.This program named after Beethoven’s famous letter to an unnamed love, (Dear Immortal Believed) is a celebration of two significant works by lifelong bachelors Beethoven and Brahms. Both wrote glorious music and had a life of many unrequited love affairs. The weighty and plaintive Brahms Cello and Piano sonata in E minor with its explosive end where both the pianist and cellists fingers fly at an incredible pace, and the masterpiece that is Beethoven’s Cello Sonata No. 4 in C major will never sound as up close and personal as in our Spring Garden.* A glass of Riesling will be served“A glowing tone, a seductive timbre and an emotionally pointed approach to phrasing that made you want to hear him again” The New York Times“Fiery and intelligent, Peled really shone in a bold and dramatically conceived interpretation” The Strad Magazine Concerts are presented at 5pm and 6:30pm. Concerts are planned for the Secret Garden and could be moved indoors or please note the rain date will be Friday.<h2>The Program</h2><h3>Beethoven: Cello Sonata No. 4 in C major, Op. 102, No. 1, Free Sonata</h3>(for cello and piano) I.

About the RectoryBuilt in 1785 and the home of Classical Movements’ offices since 2014, the building formerly served as the rectory of the nearby historic Christ Church, once the church of George Washington. Since then, it has been owned by several distinguished Virginians and has been a commercial space since the 1960’s.
Located in the heart of beautiful Old Town Alexandria at 711 Princess Street, the Rectory is minutes away from the shops and restaurants of bustling King Street and is easily accessible by bus and metro.
