92Y Video: Violinist Jennifer Koh Discusses the Bach and Beyond project
World-renowned violinist Jennifer Koh talks about the innovative program she is presenting at 92Y on January 30, mingling Bach Partitas for Solo Violin with contemporary works, as part of the Distinguished Artists in Recital and Sunday Afternoon series.
“The genesis of the project came out of the celebration of Bach’s 325th birthday in the year 2010…Basically I wanted to explore why Bach’s music, which is over 300 years old, is still so relevant today, why his sonatas and partitas still influence compositions.”
Two of the new works are included in her new recording, “Rhapsodic Musings: Twenty-First-Century Works for Solo Violin,” which just received its own rhapsodic review in The New York Times.
