About the Concert

ProMusica Chamber Orchestra is delighted to present, “Bach and Friends,” a concert featuring world-renowned violinist Vadim Gluzman.  

Vadim Gluzman, known for his exceptional artistry and captivating performances, will be joined by a stellar lineup of musicians, including Nadine Hur on flute, Donna Conaty on oboe, and Aya Hamada on harpsichord. Together, they will present an enchanting program that explores the works of Johann Sebastian Bach, as well as compositions by Valentin Silvestrov and Felix Mendelssohn.  

The program will open with Bach’s delightful Double Concerto for Oboe and Violin, showcasing the virtuosity and musicality of Gluzman and Conaty. This piece is a true testament to Bach’s mastery of composition and his ability to create intricate and harmonious dialogues between instruments.  

Following the Double Concerto, the audience will be treated to Silvestrov’s evocative work, “Silent Music.” This contemplative piece invites listeners to immerse themselves in a world of introspection and emotional depth where time seems to stand still.  

The concert will continue with Bach’s iconic Brandenburg Concerto No. 5, a masterpiece that highlights the brilliance of the harpsichord and features Aya Hamada as the soloist. This concerto is a true testament to Bach’s innovation and his ability to push the boundaries of musical expression.  

Finally, the program will conclude with Mendelssohn’s exuberant Sinfonia No. 10, a delightful and uplifting composition that showcases the orchestra’s dynamic range and virtuosity.
