Introducing "Jana Plays Scipriani"

Redbooth proudly presents "Jana plays Scipriani", a series of recorded video sessions with baroque cellist Jana Semaan interpreting the 12 Toccatas of Francesco Paulo Scipriani.

Scipriani aka. Supriani (1678-1753) wrote a collection of Toccatas for the newly born cello with an initiation in the cello technique called „Principij da imparare a suonare il violoncello e con 12 toccate a solo“ in 1720. The pieces are a fundamental discovery in the history of the cello instrument. They are a building block to each cello student and a great source to improve musicality and technique. The manuscript is at the music conservatory San Pietro a Majella in Napoli.

Jana's Bio: Jana is a Lebanese born cellist and music educator. She graduated from the State University of Music and Performing Arts in Stuttgart-Germany where she completed her studies in cello performance and achieved her Master's degree in Early Music/Baroque Cello. Today, Jana pursues her career as a performer and teaches music at several universities in Lebanon. She is head of the first Center for Early Music in the Middle East at the Antonine University.
