GUEST
Kathryn Dey, Principal Viola
Erika and Chuck Riddiford Endowed Chair
We can’t wait to welcome Principal Viola Katie Dey to the stage as our soloist for this program full of Baroque-inspired goodness! She’ll play a concerto written by French composer Henri Casadesus, who was, in no uncertain terms, completely obsessed with the music of the Bach family, and in this case, Johann Sebastian Bach’s son Johann Christian. Then, you’ll hear the strings of the symphony shine in the third Brandenburg concerto, a piece composed as part of a set that Bach the first, Johann Sebastian, wrote for a German nobleman with Brandenburg in his name. Bach must have held the man in high regard: the pieces contain some of the most memorable melodies ever written.
