Too much time in the quarantine laboratory gave rise to this musical madness! A “new” Bach cello suite…. created from chopped up bits of all six Bach cello suites! Stitched in between each glorious movement of Bach are gems of the 20th-century cello repertoire — full of passion, pain, curiosity, and serenity — pulling together music both new and old into a new, hybridized creation.
The livestream will take place at 6:30 Eastern / 3:30 Pacific.
