“…gave a mesmerizing performance as the soloist in Edward Elgar’s Cello Concerto in E minor, causing the audience to leap to its feet and demand an encore. Jacobs-Perkins obliged with a virtuosic solo by the young American composer Andrew Norman, ‘Sabina,’ a piece so haunting and delicate that the audience seemed to hold its breath.”
