Close Encounters Concert 2 | Bach and his Art of the Fugue

Featuring The Blossom Quartet, the second concert in our 18th season of this music program opens allows a rare opportunity to experience a live performance of Bach's creative culmination. This music is evocative, moving, and expressive.

Close Encounters is Heights Arts’ signature Sunday afternoon chamber music series, and this concert in this season's series features performers Stephen Tavani, violin, Yun-Ting Lee, violin, William Bender, viola, and Dane Johansen, cello.

These intimate Sunday afternoon concerts, curated by Cleveland Orchestra cellist Dane Johansen, are performed by some of the world's most renowned musicians.
