Barefoot Chamber Concerts ("an enterprise noted for both its quality and informality" - San Francisco Classical Voice) presents really good music in the right acoustic and without the formality of most classical music events.
Bay Area favorite William Skeen will treat us to a program of three of Johann Sebastian Bach's legendary suites for Solo Cello. This is a rare chance to hear a local wizard of the cello play this magnificent music.
Bach wrote these pieces in the first quarter of the 18th century, and they have remained a cornerstone of the repertoire for solo cello, as well as some of the finest examples of Bach's instrumental genius.
Mr. Skeen is Principal Cellist with Philharmonia Baroque Orchestra, and was Principal Cellist of the American Bach Soloists for nearly two decades. He is a founding member of the New Esterhazy Quartet, the Cantata Collective, and La Monica. In addition to his teaching, William has appeared as soloist with countless orchestras in the U. S and internationally, and has toured and recorded with many early music ensembles including Smithsonian Chamber Players, Musica Pacifica, El Mundo, Agave, Galanterie, Con Gioia, the New Esterhazy Quartet, La Monica, and Philharmonia Chamber Players.
William Skeen performs with his two baroque celli: a Giovanni Grancino from 1725, and an anonymous Italian five-string cello from the 1680s.
