Bach for the People
photo

The bar room, the tavern, and the coffeehouse are not the places you’d expect to find an accomplished classical cellist performing the works of Bach, but the Israeli-born musician Matt Haimovitz says it fits in just fine. Matt Haimovitz is rethinking the way we listen to and perform classical music by taking it out of the concert hall and making it more accessible, more intimate and more free. Tonight live music with cellist Matt Haimovitz.

Guests:

Matt Haimovitz, cellist who’s latest CD is “J.S. Bach: 6 Suites for Cello Solo”
