Baroque cello concert by Salome Stroganova – Narva Town Hall

Early music concert at Narva Town Hall, with the young and gifted cellist Salome Stroganova from Georgia.

The programme includes solo cello works by the great Baroque masters Johann Sebastian Bach and Domenico Gabrielli. Its special feature is scordatura, an alternative tuning in which the cello's highest string is tuned to G instead of the usual A. This changes the instrument's resonance, creates new colours and lets listeners discover the cello's rich sound from a different side.

Salome Stroganova, from Tbilisi, began piano lessons at six and took up the cello in her teens. Since 2023 she has studied at the Tbilisi State Conservatoire under Professor Tamara Gabarashvili. Since August 2025 she has studied cello at the Estonian Academy of Music and Theatre under Professor Henry-David Varema, and baroque cello under Johanna Randvere.

Programme: Domenico Gabrielli, seven ricercars for solo cello (1689), nos. 1, 3, 4, 5 and 7; Johann Sebastian Bach, Cello Suite No. 5 in C minor, BWV 1011.
