Experience the artistry of J.S. Bach reimagined in a fresh and intimate string trio format. Baroque violinist Paul Luchkow has carefully curated Bach in Transcription, a special concert offering a rare opportunity to explore how Bach’s masterpieces have been adapted by later composers, including Mozart.
Luchkow, a versatile violinist known for his mastery of music spanning from the 17th century to the present day on both period and contemporary instruments, leads this engaging program. The concert will explore the tradition of adapting Bach’s works, focusing on transcriptions for string trio—a format that showcases the technical brilliance and emotional depth of his compositions.
Joining Luchkow are violist Ronelle Schaufele and cellist Andrea Case, two skilled musicians who will highlight the beautiful sounds and harmonies that come to life when Bach’s music is reinterpreted. Mozart, a great admirer and student of Bach’s work, is a key figure in this tradition of musical transformation.
This program celebrates not only the genius of Bach but also the creative evolution that occurs as music is handed down through generations. These transcriptions offer fresh insights into Bach’s compositions and underscore their lasting influence on the world of music.
Bach in Transcription takes place on Saturday, October 5, 2024 at 7:30 PM at Christ Church Calgary.
