Dear Friends,
This Sunday I will present a concert of solo works by J.S. Bach on the violin. Though I have explored many other avenues in music, these pieces always call me back, provoking a profound sense of astonishment and wonder. There is always more to explore and discover in these passages, and I will inevitably find myself swept away; totally lost in the remarkable unique world they contain, playing for hours and hours on end.
While in the past I've performed isolated movements in the context of a varied program, this is the first time I will present complete works as they were originally intended - starting from the incredibly fraught and dark D minor Partita, ending with the bright and ebullient E major, bridged together with movements from the magnificent C major Sonata. This is a truly wonderful and exciting musical journey to embark upon, and I hope to have you there with me.
Sincerely,
Roy MacNeil
