Internationally acclaimed composer and virtuoso cellist from London Jo Quail new studio album “The Cartographer” on CD Digipack!
“The Cartographer” is a piece commissioned by the renown Roadburn Festival, who will host its premiere performance in April 2022 at the 013 venue in Tilburg, the Netherlands.
