Violinist Johnny Gandelsman's solo performance is about counterpoint, pairing unaccompanied Sonatas and Partitas by J.S. Bach with newly commissioned works as part of his This is America project. Celebrating the country's rich cultural tapestry and myriad perspectives, the program also features composers Clarice Assad, Rhiannon Giddens, Terry Riley, Tyshawn Sorey and Conrad Tao. The Boston Globe describes Gandelsman as "a delightfully unconventional fiddler...with a balletic lightness of touch and a sense of whimsy and imagination that are rare."
