The Academy of St Martin in the Fields is one of the world’s finest chamber orchestras, renowned for fresh, brilliant interpretations of the greatest orchestral music. The Academy will return with cellist Gary Hoffman. After winning the Premier Grand Prix of the Rostropovich International Competition in Paris in 1986, Hoffman embarked on an international career, appearing with the world’s most noted orchestras, in major recital and chamber music series and at prestigious festivals. He is a regular guest with the Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center in New York, and is a remarkable and much sought-after chamber partner.
