Gil Shaham, solo violin with original films by David Michalek

Sunday, November 1, 2015, 5pm Sanders Theatre: Memorial Hall, Harvard University, 45 Quincy St., Cambridge, MA

Gil Shaham performs the Sei solo, “six alone,” as J.S. Bach labeled his set of three sonatas and three partitas for solo violin in a fascinating multi-media performance at Sanders Theatre. These iconic landmarks of European culture are among the most technically challenging music ever written for the violin. Gil Shaham’s collaborative vision for tackling these masterworks includes newly commissioned films by visual artist David Michalek, creator of the internationally celebrated outdoor installation, SLOWDANCING. http://www.celebrityseries.org/shaham/index.htm
