The works of Johann Sebastian Bach are at the very core of western classical music. And this recital showcases Bach' mastery of counterpoint, harmonic and motivic organization. Both the violin double and viola double concertos rhythmically cascade with contrapuntal outer movements, sublime middle movements, and rich harmonic textures throughout. Come enjoy an afternoon of Bach's intellectually bold and exuberant musical character.
