Chloë Hanslip and Danny Driver | Bach Series I
The first in an exclusive series of concerts celebrating the creative genius of Johann Sebastian Bach.
JS Bach is regarded as one of the greatest composers of all time. Part of a large family of German musicians, he was an outstanding harpsichordist and organist. His compositions, such as the Brandenburg Concertos and ‘The Well-Tempered Clavier’, are revered all over the world.
In the first of their Bach series for Turner Sims, violinist Chloë Hanslip and pianist Danny Driver delve into JS Bach’s works for solo violin. His six sonatas and partitas have inspired many composers, including Ysaÿe and Cesar Franck.
Join us to hear these intricate and emotional works performed by two Turner Sims favourites.
Hanslip seduces the senses with a compelling suppleness of dynamic, phrasing and senza-vibrato purity.
