Pallade Musica

 Bach in the Living Room

What if we invited you to listen to intimate works by the great Johann Sebastian Bach in the open air? For this concert, Pallade Musica will interpret the trio sonatas of the master in arrangements for violin, recorder and harpsichord, with an apéritif of Preludes for solo cello. Salon Bach will transport you to the intimate setting in which these works were first heard. Composed in Leipzig and Köthen between 1718 and 1730, these pieces are instrumental masterpieces, performed here by early music specialists who are in great demand on the Canadian and international scene.
