Composer of the Week: Luigi Boccherini

This week on ‘A Little Night Music’ Kathleen Kajioka takes a closer look at Luigi Boccherini.

A prodigy on the cello, he would be among the first to establish this now well-loved instrument within the solo sphere. Endowed astonishing technique – including an ability to play as high as any violin – he also had a sizable ego, which got him into trouble on more than one occasion!

Tune in to “A Little Night Music” every night this week, just after 8 o’clock.
