Acclaimed violinist and Mosher Guest Artist Jennifer Koh brings her artistry and expressive brilliance to a captivating solo recital exploring the timeless influence of J.S. Bach alongside contemporary composer Philip Glass. Praised as “quite simply an outstanding interpreter of Bach’s music” by Washington Classical Review, Koh offers a powerful and deeply personal journey through works of technical mastery and emotional depth.
This tour de force program pairs Bach’s iconic sonatas and partita with Glass’s Sarabande in Common Time, written for Koh in 2016, creating a striking dialogue between Baroque tradition and modern minimalism. The evening includes Bach’s Violin Sonata No. 1 in G Minor, BWV 1001, Violin Sonata No. 2 in A Minor, BWV 1003, and the monumental Partita No. 2 in D Minor, BWV 1004.
