Friends and Brothers: Music of Bach, Brahms, and Dvořak
About This Event
At Bargemusic a program of Johann Sebastian Bach, Johannes Brahms and Antonín Dvořák places Baroque counterpoint beside Romantic harmonic density and Dvořák's folk‑inflected melodies. Bach's work has been presented at Lincoln Center and in New York City Ballet's "All Bach"; Brahms has been heard in intimate Groupmuse NYC settings; Dvořák's scores entered the city's repertory through performances with the New York Philharmonic.
About Dancing with Fauré
At Bargemusic in New York City, *Dancing with Fauré* frames Gabriel Fauré’s music through a cross-genre lens, moving between classical writing and rock/pop inflections. The program treats Fauré less as a museum figure than as a working source material, reshaped in real time by arrangement and performance choices. No specific NYC-premiere history is publicly established for this version, but its setting places it inside the city’s long tradition of remixing European repertory for contemporary ears. The strongest moments are the ones that let the harmony do the talking, without overexplaining the concept.
