Unfortunately, harpsichordist Hank Knox was not able to travel to New York to perform on our series this week due to a COVID exposure. We are so grateful for these students from the Juilliard Historical Performance program to step in at the last minute.
Ravenna Lipchik ~ violin
Clara Abel ~ violoncello
Suren Barry ~ harpsichord
This program features selected movements from three virtuoso works for solo instruments. J.S. Bach’s suites for violoncello and harpsichord are well-known to devotees of the composer. Johann Georg Pisendel was the foremost violinist of his age in Germany. His compositions incorporate the prevalent Italian and French styles into fiendishly difficult music for the violin. The Sonata in A minor served as a model for Bach’s unaccompanied works for the instrument.
1:15–2:00 pm
All concerts are free; no tickets or reservations are necessary.
In person at St. Malachy's Church, 239 West 49th Street, Manhattan
