Renowned German cellist Daniel Muller-Schott will return to Korea this fall for his first solo recital in seven years, performing Oct. 12 at the Seoul Arts Center with a program that spans centuries of German classical music.

The evening centers on two milestones of the cello repertoire — Beethoven's Cello Sonata No. 3 and Brahms' Cello Sonata No. 2. Together they chart the instrument's growing presence, from Beethoven's balanced dialogue with the piano to Brahms' symphonic weight condensed into chamber form.

Austrian composer Anton Webern's compact yet explosive Three Little Pieces, Op. 11 will add a jolt of modernist intensity, while Schumann's lyrical Fantasy Pieces, Op. 73 will close the program with fairytale warmth. Muller-Schott will be joined by pianist Cho Jae-hyuck.

Praised by global outlets including The New York Times, Muller-Schott has performed with leading ensembles such as the New York Philharmonic, Berlin Philharmonic and London Symphony Orchestra. Known for his expressive bowing, refined phrasing and rich tone, he is regarded as one of today's foremost interpreters of the cello.

Outside the concert hall, he has built a discography of more than 30 recordings with major labels including Deutsche Grammophon and Warner Classics, earning honors such as the Diapason d'Or and the Opus Klassik Award.

Muller-Schott is also recognized for commissioning new works, collaborating with contemporary composers and co-founding the Vevey Spring Classic festival in Switzerland, which blends music with other art forms.

Presented by In Arts Production, tickets for the Seoul recital are available through the Seoul Arts Center and NOL Interpark.
