In partnership with the Embassy of Spain Islamabad, Lahore’s Alhamra Art Centre presented an evening of classical music with celebrated cellist Aldo Mata and pianist Qi Shen on Tuesday. Speaking on the occasion in his inaugural speech, Lahore Arts Council Board of Governors Chairman Razi Ahmed welcomed the audience for the evening’s cello concert co-hosted with the Embassy. Their repertoire spans from Bach to contemporary music, with a special emphasis — given their residence in Seville — on romantic Spanish music for this ensemble. He has written articles on the Bach Suites, the art of portamento, editions of Del Campo’s quartets, and more. She frequently appears in recitals with Mata in the US, China, Spain, South America, and Japan.
