NSW JUMP artist Anthony Albrecht and mentor invite to a night of Bach and Vivaldi

In the first half of the 18th century, on opposite sides of the Alps, two pious geniuses were at work. Although the epic geography separating northern and southern Europe meant they never crossed paths, J.S. Bach and Antonio Vivaldi composed within the mingled cultural traditions of the Baroque. Cellists everywhere are fortunate that they both shared a love for their instrument, creating some of the most beautiful and profound works in the repertoire. These two suites and sonatas, in alternating major and minor keys, are mountains of cello playing in their own right. In presenting this concert, the culmination of their 2011 JUMP mentorship, Anthony Albrecht, with the help of his mentor Daniel Yeadon, has attempted to climb them.
