BA-Shostakovi-CH
Sunday, November 22, 2015 at 3:00 p.m.
At Dunham Tavern Museum, 6709 Euclid Avenue
Johann Sebastian Bach wrote over 200 Cantatas, but, sadly, they are rarely heard. His masterful “Wedding Cantata” will be performed by soprano Sandra Simon, Cleveland Orchestra principal oboist Frank Rosenwein, Canadian harpsichordist Christopher Bagan and a string ensemble led by Cleveland Orchestra and baroque violinist Miho Hashizume. Shostakovich’s Eighth Quartet, a portrait of war, destruction and suffering is followed by one of classical music’s greatest gems: the Ciaconna for Solo Violin by J.S. Bach. Performed in the landmark Midtown Dunham Tavern Museum.
