Jeffrey Kahane Leads Bach Sonatas at Los Angeles Chamber Orch Baroque Conversations April 19, 2012

Los Angeles Chamber Orchestra (LACO) continues its popular “Baroque Conversations” with a program featuring three Bach sonatas performed by LACO Music Director and keyboardist Jeffrey Kahane and three LACO principals on Thursday, April 19, 2012, 7 pm, at Zipper Hall in downtown Los Angeles. Kahane, who celebrates his 15th anniversary as LACO music director, performs the Viola da Gamba Sonata in G major, BWV 1027 with Principal Cello Andrew Shulman; the Oboe Sonata in G minor, BWV 1030b with Principal Oboe Allan Vogel; and the Violin Sonata in E major, BWV 1016 with Concertmaster Margaret Batjer. In signature LACO style, Kahane shares his insights into the music from the stage and invites questions from the audience. A complimentary pre-concert wine reception for ticket holders begins at 6 pm.

LACO's “Baroque Conversations” series explores the genesis of orchestral repertoire from early Baroque schools through the pre-classical period.
