<strong>Cello</strong> <strong>Concerto</strong>: <strong>‘Chemin</strong> <strong>des</strong> <strong>Dames’</strong>, a concerto for cello and orchestra, was<br />
written for Sébastien Hurtaud with funding made available from the First<br />
World War Centenary (WW100) Co-Commissioning Fund. This work marks<br />
the centenary of one of the bloodiest battles of WWI at Chemin <strong>des</strong> Dames,<br />
north-east of Paris. It also acknowledges the impact of the war on women<br />
and their families. Farr’s own three great-great-uncles, three brothers, were<br />
killed in the war and are buried in France and Belgium. It was premiered<br />
by the New Zealand Symphony Orchestra and Sébastien Hurtaud (vc) with<br />
Hamish McKeich (cond.) at the Michael Fowler Centre, Wellington, New<br />
Zealand on 5 May 2017.<br />
This edition is a facsimile of the original score provided by the composer.<br />
