Accompanied by Lestari Scholtes on piano, Bosch is renowned as one of the most influential instrumentalists of his generation.
The London-based Bosch is particularly known for his expressive bel canto style and is also known as a chamber musician, recitalist, concerto soloist and teacher.
Since his 1984 London solo debut with the Philharmonia Orchestra, Bosch has appeared as a concerto soloist with many distinguished musicians, including Pinchas Zukerman, Sir Charles Groves and Nicholas Kraemer.
Bosch has received acclaim for the exploration of challenging and little-known music for double bass both in live performance and on disc.
At Hifa he will perform music by Spanish composer, Josep Cervera-Bret for double bass while he plays Fascinacion, Cielo Gris, Nocturne, Recuerdos de Londres, Elegia, Berceuse, Introduccion y Tarantel-la for piano.
Bosch’s show will be presented by the British Council while Scholtes’ appearance comes with the support of the Royal Netherlands Embassy.
