LIVE BROADCAST: Johnny Gandelsman, violin

Johnny-Gandelsman-web

Our first LIVE broadcast of the season is coming up on Wednesday, September 30 at 7:30pm PT! Brooklyn Rider‘s Johnny Gandelsman performs Bach’s “Complete Sonatas and Partitas” on the Town Music at Town Hall season opener. Hold up. All Bach… on Second Inversion?!

As Joshua Roman explains in his post on Programming a Classical Season at Town Hall… “Every season includes music by J.S. Bach, whether it’s a concert of Bach or mixed in other programs. I love Bach, and find it an ideal anchor for explorations of many kinds of music. In past seasons, Bach has been played by Baroque specialists like Catharina Meints and paired with other music, like Karen Gomyo’s evening of Bach and Piazzolla. This season, Johnny Gandelsman plays all six Sonatas and Partitas. Yesss…”

It’s a good reminder that all music was new once and who better present Bach than Johnny Gandelsman, a violinist in one of the most forward-thinking, innovative, new-music embracing string quartets, Brooklyn Rider?

We hope that if you’re in Seattle, you’ll come hear the concert in person (and say “Hi!” to KING FM and Second Inversion at the broadcast table in the lobby). For Johnny & Bach lovers worldwide, tune in on Wednesday, September 30 at 7:30pm PT! On the go? Be sure to download our mobile app to listen anywhere.

LIVE BROADCAST: Joshua Roman plays Bach

J.S. Bach is not an obvious association with Second Inversion, most often streaming new music and rethinking classical. But, as Joshua Roman says, “All music was new once,” and we’re celebrating our Artistic Advisor in a very special live broadcast from Town Hall Seattle tonight, Wednesday, April 22 at 7pm.

Town Hall took a very 21st century approach this concert, crowdsourcing the programming by asking fans to vote for their favorite Bach Cello Suite. The polls are closed, the votes are tallied, and you’ll find out tonight which suites won during Joshua’s performance!  You can listen live (audio-only) or watch the action below at 7pm PDT!
