Music in the Morning presents Jonathan Crow & Friends: Bach Concerti & Concerto Grosso
Bach’s concerti are timeless, and few violinists bring them to life with as much brilliance as soloist, chamber musician, and concertmaster Jonathan Crow. Jonathan possesses a unique gift for leading exquisite interpretations of Bach’s intricate works with nimbleness and immediacy. He will be joined by a handpicked ensemble of superb collaborators, including Vancouver Symphony’s principal flutist Christie Reside, Amanda Chan on harpsichord, and up-and-coming violin soloist Anna Štube. The program features the E-Major Violin Concerto, the Double Violin Concerto, and the Brandenburg Concerto Grosso No. 5.
