This two-performance adventure examines the essential influences of Bach on composers through the centuries. Jennifer Koh, a violinist acclaimed for her "burnished sound and nimble technique" (The New York Times) conceived this program in part because of her own love for the Six Sonatas and Partitas of Bach, long considered the definitive works written for solo violin. When exploring solo violin works written in the past and present day, Ms. Koh found an array of compositions to be especially directly connected to Bach's Sonatas and Partitas. Hear a thoughtful exploration - and extraordinary performances - of the music of Bach alongside contemporary composers in these two evenings in the Mansion. This performance begins and ends with Bach Partitas, embracing works by Ysaye, Saariho, and Salonen.
