The doors open on another adventurous season of programming at Columbia University's Miller Theatre next month; Executive Director George Steel joins David tonight to offer a comprehensive preview.
One of the series being offered at the Miller Theatre this season is an examination of Johann Sebastian Bach's music, "Bach in Context." We'll provide a little "Bachanalia" of our own this evening with J.S.B.'s Suite of Dances; also, soloists Robert Hill and Leon Berben duke it out in C.P.E. Bach's Concerto for Harpsichord and Fortepiano. Later in the evening, we'll hear from American composer Eric Ewazen as the American Brass Quintet (and guests) explore the many different sounds of the trumpet in Ewazen's "Fantasia for Seven Trumpets."
