It is with pleasure that I announce my new appointment as “Artist in Residence”  at the Dulwich College in Suzhou. I am looking forward to a series of concerts there:  http://www.dulwich-suzhou.cn/page.cfm?p=854&newsid=290

Concert with Bach’s cello suites and Thai dancer Sasipan Srivilaluck. Alexander Suleiman, well known for his border crossings in art and music, demonstrates another stunning project. Two worlds collide: Traditional western music with Bach’s suites for cello solo is searching for a counterpart in the traditional dance culture of Thailand. Both of them will demonstrate how these two worlds can inspire each other.
