Sunday, October 28, 2pm & 7pm, 2018 (Two programs)
French virtuoso Jean-Guihen Queyras takes a deep dive into Bach's sublime suites for solo cello based on Baroque dance forms that swing from moody sarabandes (banned in Spain in the 1500s) to galloping gavottes. His two different programs at 2pm and 7pm, will be an all-day Bach Cello Suites extravaganza.
"Queyras performs as he breathes...His technical ease allows him to play with the music, to knead it, giving a particular character to each work...The alternation of shadow and light, assumption and allusive asides is the essence of Queyras' art...A packed house listened to him, gobsmacked, and in absolute silence. Queyras speaks of the world...he brings the universe to the end of his bow." -Christophe Huss, Le devoir, Montreal, December 2010
