Boulder Bach Festival: Across Time, Across Cultures

"We celebrate the return to live concerts with a program that embraces a diversity of musical styles, traveling across time and across cultures. The program opens with BBF co-directors violinist/conductor Zachary Carrettin and pianist/harpsichordist Mina Gajić performing works in romantic style with Moorish-Andalusian, Roma, and Sephardic influences. Gajić continues with colorful, meditative, and exotic solo piano works from her homeland, Balkan Dances by Marko Tajčević, Next, Carrettin offers us unaccompanied Bach played in his distinctive manner that explores intimacy and a poetic sense of time and pulse."
