Concert Program III: From Bach

Jul 24 2026 | Jul 25 2026 +1

Summary

The 2011 season celebrated the timeless oeuvre of Johann Sebastian Bach, delving into the depths of his art from the perspectives of composers who followed. In this program, a set of fugues for solo piano sets the stage for subsequent works by Haydn, Mendelssohn, and Brahms, all containing fugal writing—a direct link from Bach. John Corigliano’s Fancy on a Bach Air recalls the master’s first suite for solo cello, and the birth of the cello as a solo instrument.
