Bach and beyond
Ever since J.S. Bach hit the scene and came to define baroque music, countless music makers have found inspiration in the work of the astoundingly prolific composer — such as Austin Chamber Music artistic director and pianist Michelle Schumann.
Schumann’s crafted an intriguing program that uses Bach’s music as well as that by modern composers greatly influenced by the baroque master — Philip Glass, Arvo Part and Keith Jarrett — alternated and arranged to form a 60-minute seamless musical thread for piano, marimba and vibes. Schumann is joined by percussionist Graeme Francis.
“Out of the Bach’s.”
