Leo Eguchi is an in-demand cellist, from Oregon’s Willamette Valley Chamber Music Festival to Sheffield Chamber Players in his hometown of Boston (both ensembles he co-founded) and in regional ensembles including New Bedford Symphony (principal cellist), Portland Symphony and the Boston Pops. Eguchi steps out on his own this fall with “UNACCOMPANIED,” a performance featuring eight short new works by immigrant and first-generation American composers for solo cello. A Japanese-American man whose upbringing in a mixed-race Midwest family made him question his fit in the communities he inhabited, Eguchi commissioned composers whose own work draws from unique immigrant and mixed-race experiences to answer the question, “What does your American-ness sound like?”
