Our second all-Bach installment is devoted to music for violin and harpsichord, including two of the beloved “duet” sonatas for harpsichord and violin.
Both players also take solo turns with music Bach composed for the other instrument, in transcriptions that reveal new ways of hearing familiar repertoire. Featuring renowned Baroque violinist Elizabeth Blumenstock and Ars Lyrica founder Matthew Dirst, this will be the chamber highlight of our 2020/21 season.
Bach 2 Bach is presented jointly with Music at St. Philip.
Grammy-nominated Ars Lyrica Houston is a professional performance ensemble dedicated to providing audiences with historically-informed performances of music from the 17th and 18th centuries. These works feature exciting and accomplished artists in performances of beloved masterworks and hidden gems.
