RESCHEDULED for Saturday February 26, 2022 at 4:00pm

The October 2021 Boulder Bach Festival performance was postponed.

About the Program 

The program Across Time Across Cultures embraces a diversity of musical styles including works in romantic style with Moorish-Andalusian, Roma, and Sephardic influences.

Carettin and Gajić open the program with Joseph Achron’s deeply meditative Hebrew Melody, and Gajić is then joined by Claire McCahan for Manuel de Falla’s poetic song cycle, Siete canciones populares Españolas. Gajić continues with colorful, meditative, and exotic solo piano works from her homeland—Balkan Dances by Marko Tajčević. Next, Carrettin offers us unaccompanied Bach’s Sonata in A Minor played in his distinctive manner that explores intimacy and a poetic sense of time and pulse.

Following intermission, concert violinist and USC artist faculty Lina Bahn joins Gajić for a seldom-heard work, D’un matin de printemps,  by the French composer Lili Boulanger. Colorado Symphony Orchestra double bassist Nicholas Recuber appears in his own arrangements Fantasi No. 10 and No. 11 by G.P. Telemann.

The entire ensemble will conclude the program with the Colorado premiere of two works by American composer Raymond Granlund. Composed for Carrettin, these highly contrapuntal and rhythmically passionate quartet pieces explore the nature of tango with influences ranging from Bach to Poulenc.

The afternoon performance begins at 4:00pm.

Tickets can be purchased through the Boulder Bach Festival website.
