Johann Sebastian Bach once famously walked 500 miles to hear his idol, Dietrich Buxtehude, play the organ. With that kind of determination, you can be sure he would be proud of the Kansas City ensemble that bears his name.
Without fail, the Bach Aria Soloists’ “Notes & Letters” program is a charming offering to the concert season. The ensemble excels at creating welcoming, intimate events and, even in these times of distancing (physical and virtual), the group delivered such a concert.
Recent discoveries of Bach have been rare. But twenty years ago, a whole community discovered the great composer—audiences, musicians, scholars, dancers, and artists—thanks to Kansas City’s Bach Aria Soloists.
Artistic director and violinist Elizabeth Suh Lane has been acclaimed, “… among the finest chamber musicians in America today” by San Francisco Symphony’s music director Michael Tilson Thomas.
