Margarita made her solo debut at Wigmore Hall at age seventeen and since then, she has performed to audiences world-wide at venues including Royal Festival Hall and Southbank Centre, London, Berliner Philharmonie and Walt Disney Concert Hall, Los Angeles.

Playing on the Charles Adolphe Gand ‘Auguste Tolbecque’ 1849 cello, which was used for the premiere of Camille Saint-Saëns’s Cello Concerto No. 1 in 1873, Margarita has recorded the very same concerto in an arrangement for cello and string nonet by Ilan Rechtman, conducted by Ben Palmer. Her Saint-Saëns recital also includes the simple, meditative Prière written in 1919, Romanza from the second cello sonata and the all-time favourite Le Cygne. Drawn from Lola, and arranged here by Mats Lidström, the haunting rhythms of Tango round off the programme.
