Birth, death and rebirth resonate as universal topics of human expression. Combining the C major Violin Sonata and E major Partita of J. S. Bach, the choreography of Brian Solomon, and selected Bach arias, “Rebirth” explores and reconciles these profoundly human concerns within a uniquely Canadian context. In this, the third and final concert of our Bach on Turtle’s Back project, we are proud to premiere a new commission from Cree composer Andrew Balfour scored for period string quartet and baritone (performed by Jonathon Adams & the Eybler Quartet). Join us for the culmination of this multi-layered, multi-discipline project, a true feast for the senses.

Directed & Choreographed by Brian Solomon.

The Gallery Players is proud to offer a pay-what-you-choose ticket option at the door of our concerts as part of our commitment to creating an inclusive chamber music community. $40 suggested.
