Cello Concert with John Kaboff
Concert Cellist John Kaboff will perform works by LGBTQ+ composer, Benjamin Britten, and Jewish composer, Ernst Bloch. Kaboff will discuss how both composers were inspired by the solo cello music of Johann Sebastian Bach and how these cello suites combine complex melody, rhythmical pulse, chord progressions by creating new and innovative rhythmical patterns and harmonic structure that extended the techniques of composers from prior centuries.
