Inbal Segev begins her 2024–25 season in the company of the American Composers Orchestra in Carnegie’s Zankel Hall for the New York premiere of Ukrainian composer Victoria Vita Poleva’s The Bell (Oct 30), following world and UK premieres of the piece last season in Dallas and London, respectively. She collaborates with conductor Leonard Slatkin for performances with both the Nashville Symphony (Feb 28; March 2) and Las Vegas Philharmonic (March 15) of Mark Adamo’s new cello concerto, titled Last Year; and in May she plays Dvořák’s Cello Concerto with the West Michigan Symphony led by Scott Speck (May 9) before giving the U.S. premiere of her own Trio for Cello, Clarinet, and Piano the following night, along with music of Bach, Debussy, and Prokofiev (May 10).

In the holiday season, Segev joins Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center for its yearly tradition of presenting all six of Bach’s Brandenburg Concertos in one program, in both Chicago and New York (Dec 11–17); and gives performances of Elgar’s Cello Concerto with the Hartford Symphony led by Music Director Carolyn Kuan (Nov 15–17) and Anna Clyne’s cello concerto DANCE – written for Segev – with the Berkeley Symphony and Music Director Joseph Young (Feb 9). Spring also sees the cellist perform in the “Wonders We Carry Inside” Gala, an evening of music honoring the mystical beauty of Persian culture and the power of women to shape history both past and present. Curated by Iranian American composer Gity Razaz, the evening also features Iranian composer Sahba Aminikia, composer and kamancheh player Niloufar Shiri, and musicians of the San Diego Symphony. Segev will perform a piece she herself commissioned from Razaz in 2015: Legend of Sigh (March 20).

Segev’s season is rounded out with the world premiere performance of Angélica Negrón’s Ruta Panorámica for cello, bandoneón and electronics with accordionist Kamala Sankaram (Oct 17); performances with her Amerigo Trio partners Karen Dreyfus and Glenn Dicterow in New York and Massachusetts (Oct 20; Jan 5); and two performances of Tchaikovsky’s Rococo Variations with the Florida Orchestra led by Keitaro Harada (Jan 24, 25).
