Violinist Elena Urioste and cellist Nicholas Canellakis set concert Feb. 11 in Lewes

Two charismatic and fast-rising musicians, graduates of the Curtis Institute of Music and close colleagues, will perform as a duo for one of the first times anywhere when they appear in Lewes at 2 p.m., Saturday, Feb. 11. Violinist Elena Urioste, who dazzled the Coastal Concerts audience in 2014 when she was teamed with pianist Michael Brown, will be paying a return visit, this time with cellist Nicholas Canellakis.

Urioste and Canellakis will give a musical perspectives preview at 7 p.m., Friday, Feb. 10, at Sussex Academy in Georgetown. It will be an opportunity to interact with the artists and learn what to listen for in the music they will play the following afternoon. Admission is free to the public.

Urioste, who grew up in Philadelphia, soloed with the Philadelphia Orchestra at the age of 13, and since then has made debuts with major orchestras throughout the United States and Europe, wowing audiences with her tone, lyricism and captivating stage presence. Her recital engagements have included such distinguished venues as Carnegie Hall's Weill Recital Hall and Wigmore Hall in London. Among her many chamber music credits is performing as part of the Brown-Urioste-Canellakis piano trio.

Canellakis has become one of the most in-demand and innovative cellists of his generation. He is an artist of The Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center where he regularly performs and is a winner of Lincoln Center's CMS Two international auditions. A guest at many of the world's leading music festivals, he is also co-artistic director of the Sedona Winter MusicFest in Arizona.

Leading off their program of solo works and duos will be Canellakis performing Bach's Cello Suite No. 1 in G, after which Urioste will join him in playing a major chamber work by Hungarian composer Zoltán Kodály, his folk-influenced and rhapsodic Duo, Op. 7. Urioste will launch the second half of the program with Eugene Ysaÿe's Sonata for Solo Violin, Op. 27, No. 2, reflecting the Belgian composer's admiration for Bach and dedicated to a friend who shared this passion. Afterward there will be an arrangement by Canellakis of the "sarabande" from Bach's Suite No. 6 in D, Fritz Kreisler's "Liebesleid" and a virtuosic "passacaglia" by Norwegian composer Johan Halvorsen. To conclude, the two musicians will play a lively, rhythmically infectious rendition of two Bulgarian folk dances.

The concert will take place at the renovated and fully accessible Bethel United Methodist Church Fellowship Hall at Fourth and Market streets, Lewes. Tickets are $30. (Premium seating for $35 is sold out.) Ages 10-18, as well as one adult per youth, are admitted free with advance reservations.
