Cellist Steven Isserlis will help to bring the curtain down on the 40th anniversary of the Lichfield Festival with a show in the city.

He will perform work by Moscheles and Beethoven at Lichfield Cathedral on 17th July.

A spokesperson said:

> “A regular visitor during the festival’s early years, Steven first appeared with us in 1988 to play a solo recital featuring two of the Bach Cello Suites in the Lady Chapel of the cathedral, returning in 1989 to play the Elgar Cello Concerto with the CBSO.  
>  
> “Acclaimed worldwide for his profound musicianship and technical mastery, Steven enjoys a uniquely varied career as a soloist, chamber musician, educator, author and broadcaster, appearing with the world’s leading orchestras and conductors, and giving recitals in major musical centres.”  
>
