In memory of a great teacher. STUDY BACH, THERE YOU WILL FIND EVERYTHING is a tribute to Johann Sebastian Bach, newly arranged and performed solo by Tasana Nagavajara.
Bach’s Cello Suites are among the greatest achievements of the Baroque era. They draw out the full potential of a single monophonic instrument, carrying complete harmony and melody through one line. This rare concert presents them on the viola, a charming instrument that is often overlooked. It bridges the violin and the cello with a warm, deep, mellow middle voice that goes straight to the heart.
Tasana Nagavajara has been a driving force in Thai classical music. He has performed across five continents, played alongside the legendary Lord Yehudi Menuhin, and is Artistic Director of Bangkok Pro Musica.
The concert also asks a question: why did NASA choose Bach’s music for the Voyager Golden Record in 1977, to represent the creativity of human civilisation to life beyond Earth?
