Masterclass Series: Passport to Bach
Oregon ASTA is delighted to present a series of presentations about the solo violin and cello music of Johann Sebastian Bach. Violinist Tomas Cotik's class is open to string players of all stringed instruments as it addresses general issues of Bach interpretation. Violist Arnaud Ghillebaert and Cellist Valdine Mishkin each will offer a one hour class focusing on the cello suites. Please join us, whether this is your first experience with solo Bach or you have already begun to explore this magnificent and challenging music!
