ARTS Pick: Steven Isserlis

December begins on a classy note with a program of Schumann, Bach and more that features internationally renowned cellist Steven Isserlis. The concerto soloist and chamber musician is one of only two living cellists in the Gramophone Hall of Fame, and in this sonata-centered performance he is joined by Charlottesville Chamber Music Festival co-founder, and accomplished cellist in his own right, Raphael Bell.

Saturday 12/6. $16.50-29.50, 8pm. The Paramount Theater, 215 E. Main St., Downtown Mall. 979-1333.
