JJ speaks with cellist James Morley about his life as an artist and the thought-provoking repertoire for solo cello he's bringing to Eglws Dewi Sant. There are pieces that require improvisation, electronics, even places where the artist is being 'played by the cello', creating unique, fascinating colours and timbres. This will be a recital like no other.
