When the Violin: St. Andrew's Bach Society

When the Violin, the title of a poem by the Sufi mystic Hafiz on the power of forgiveness and new identities, will showcase Vijay Gupta in performance of works by JS Bach and Reena Esmail in collaboration with dance artist and choreographer Yamini Kalluri. Opening with Bach's 2nd Partita in D minor with its concluding "Ciaconna" - considered an Everest for violinists - the program will present a new choreography of the preceding baroque dance movements of Bach's Partita. Kalluri is trained as a classical Indian dancer as well as in the Martha Graham school of avant-garde ballet.
