Virtuosic Bach and Jazz CafÉ
Friday, May 31 at 7:30pm
Joseph Strug Concert Hall, Fountain School of Performing Arts
1385 Seymour St., Halifax
Using music from J.S. Bach’s The Art of Fugue, Christos Hatzis’s Stylus imitates a “broken record”, skipping and repeating material to create a shifting focus. Then, Kerson Leong brings us Bach’s magnificent C Major solo sonata, with its towering and virtuosic fugue, and Joseph Petric follows with a new work by Abigail Richardson. We close with the fabulous jazz-klezmer-Broadway mix of Paul Schoenfield’s Café Music.
