Lynn Harrell: In Remembrance
The life of the legendary American cellist Lynn Harrell, who died suddenly in 2020, was celebrated in “Lynn Harrell: In Remembrance” held at Royce Hall on the UCLA campus Tuesday, September 21, 2021, under the musical direction of composers and conductors John Williams and William Ross, and cellist/conductor Samuel Cristler. The live concert featured Grammy® winners violinist Anne-Sophie Mutter and American soprano Christine Brewer as well as Grammy-nominated operatic baritone Rodney Gilfry; pianist Yefim Bronfman appeared by way of video.
