Masaaki Suzuki leads juilliard415 and Yale schola cantorum
Sunday October 18, 2015 at 7;30pm
Location: Peter Jay sharp Theater
Conductor: Masaaki Suzuki
BACH Sinfonia from BWV 42
BACH Mass in A Major, BWV 234
BACH Brandenburg Concerto No. 3 in G Major, BWV 1048
BACH Mass in G Minor, BWV 235
Our group will be attending a concert in which famous conductor Maasaki Suzuki will be leading Juilliard415 and Yale Schola Cantorum. Mr. Suzuki is a leading authority on the works of Bach and he will be conducting various famous pieces. From this concert I expect an energetic and yet gentle polyphonic style which is what made J S Bach one of the greatest classical composer of all times.
This is one of the many acknowledgments that have been given to Masaaki Suzuki.

The concert that my group is going to is on two music schools coming in collaboration to play some of Bach’s work. Before taking this class, I wouldn’t voluntarily listen to these pieces. The thing that is crazy is that some of their works are probably used in the music I listen to without knowing it. I am looking forward to go to the concert and listen to these works. I like music and what I know realize is that musicians dont only listen to their genre and that’s how they get part of their inspiration. I want to get a glimpse inside of the minds of musicians.

As a young individual, i can truly say that coming into this class, and slowly learning about european styles in history have really opened my eyes. As my group and I venture on to our concert on October 18th, i will definitely be using the techniques that i have learned in class to breakdown the songs that are played. I have listened to a few Bach pieces and have learned that what he has played have never been completely redone, in the way he created it. i expect at this concert to hear a great rendition of a few of Bach’s pieces, and will look to hear certain dynamics that Bach also did in his original pieces, but also hear their musical ability to interpret Bach’s work.
