Concert | Bach Suites in the Dark, a "Concert Exhibition"


Cellist Augustin Maurs's Bach Suites in the Dark offers a unique approach to Bach’s Cello Suites. After more of years of investigation, the Suites are removed from the concert hall and placed in an unilluminated space, in which the cellist repeatedly plays them over a period of ten days. Through the extended time frame and the elimination of any visual input, the listener and the playing musician are unified within the same visual and musical space. Originally conceived as studies, Bach’s Cello Suites are a series of dances written around 1720. Although unaccompanied, they are expansive polyphonic musical masterpieces, considered both the beginning and culmination of the cello repertoire. Uncertainty about the original creative intentions of the Suites invites perpetual debate and allows imaginative free reign for redefining the environment in which they are played. Bach Suites in the Dark removes the Suites from the concert hall explores their malleability and the notion of practice in which they are rooted. less
