Jennifer Koh brings the past to the future
Wed, November 05 2008
She has played at Carnegie Hall and all over the United States, Europe and Asia. On Nov. 27, you can hear her up-close-and-personal at Heritage Hall as part of the Main Series at Heritage Hall. Koh is a violinist of startling talent, with a sound described as “fiery”, “rhapsodic”, and “meltingly beautiful” by the New York Times. For her Music on Main debut, Koh presents a compelling solo violin recital in which the music of J.S. Bach finds new meaning beside contemporary works. Commenting on the rare and revealing repertoire juxtapositions of her program, Koh writes, “I’m looking to find connections and conversations with the past in this program and I want to change the way the audience listens to older pieces like the Bach.” Music on Main is dedicated to presenting concert music in environments that are both casual and stimulating, with a strong focus on music of our time and featuring excellent professional musicians in innovative concert formats.
