You’re invited to a unique get-together of one of the most important families in history – the Bachs. The last “Tzlilim” concert of the season, titled “Bach Between the Baroque and the Rococo”, will take place this Thursday, June 27th at the Open University campus in Ra’anana. The concert will focus on Johann Sebastian Bach and three of his sons: Johann Christian, Johann Christoph Friedrich and Carl Philipp Emanuel.
The works you’ll hear will be Johann Sebastian’s Suite for violoncello solo (BWV 1008), Johann Christian Bach’s Concerto in F minor (W.C69), Carl Philipp Emanuel’s Concerto in c minor (Wq 31), and Johann Christoph Friedrich’s Sonata for violoncello and obbligato harpsichord in A major. To maintain authenticity, these works will be played on historical instruments.
Who will be bringing the Bachs to life? Harpsichordist Jochewed Schwartz is one of the most renowned keyboard players in Israel, performing with the Israel Chamber Orchestra, the Israel Kibbutz Orchestra, and the Israel Philharmonic Orchestra.
