"ROOTS: ROMANTIC WORKS FOR CELLO & PIANO" (Album Release Concert) Following acclaimed performances in Portland and Chicago, local artists British Cellist Sophie Webber and Indonesian-born pianist, Ines Irawati, join forces for this celebratory San Diego album release concert of romantic music for cello and piano, in the beautiful setting and acoustic of Point Loma Community Presbyterian Church.
