Complete J.S. Bach Suites in Westchester and Washington, DC
Marking the milestone of her first public performances of all six of Bach’s unaccompanied cello suites, Alisa Weilerstein performs the the set at Westchester arts center Caramoor on Saturday, October 15 and in Washington, DC for Washington Performing Arts on Sunday, October 16.
The individual Bach suites have long been a common feature of Alisa’s programming; her third Decca recording, Solo, comprises unaccompanied cello music of the last hundred years, and she often balances live performances of that material with one of Bach’s immortal contributions to the genre.
Later this season, Alisa performs the complete Bach Suites at London’s St. John’s Smith Square on February 8 and New York’s 92nd Street Y on April 22.
