Cuban-American cellist Tommy Mesa, who in 2023 received the Sphinx Organization's Medal of Excellence, its highest honor, has appeared as soloist at the Supreme Court of the United States and with major orchestras including the Los Angeles Philharmonic, Cleveland Orchestra, and Philadelphia Orchestra. Yoon Lee, special-prize winner of the International Anton Rubinstein Piano Competition, has performed through the United States, Europe, and Asia, and is a specialist in music for piano and strings. At the Phillips, they bring a program formed around Joel Friedman's Pas de Deux, a piece initially commissioned to celebrate a joyful relationship but revised and expanded after the tragic events of September 11; and Sergei Rachmaninoff's monumental Cello Sonata in G minor.
