Indulge in two of Bach’s most extraordinary works for strings alongside two premieres drawing inspiration from his musical innovations. The program opens with the majestic Brandenburg Concerto No. 3: one of Bach’s most famous works. Vivian Fung’s Concerto for Two Violins and String Orchestra adapts a Baroque architecture, filled with Baroque melodies and lyrical suspensions. Nathan’s “Dancing with Bach” offers a set of orchestral suites that “straddles the centuries,” transporting audiences to 18th century Leipzig. The season concludes with the beloved concerto for double violin.
