One of the highlights of most recent Richmond Symphony seasons has been a solo turn by Neal Cary, the orchestra's
principal cellist and a prominent teacher of the instrument.
Most recently, in November's Masterworks concerts, Cary was featured in the rarely performed Cello Concerto No. 2 in D minor of Camille Saint-Saëns.
Shortly afterward, he recorded a video performance with pianist Charles Staples:
