SuitesRaiser: The Complete Bach Cello Suites
Bach in the Subways founder DALE HENDERSON, talented New York cellist who in 2010 began performing the music of J.S. Bach in the subways of New York in an effort to bring classical music to a wider audience, will give a one-time only performance of the complete Bach Cello Suites as a fundraiser for Bach in the Subways L.A.
In selecting the Cello Suites Henderson takes his cue from world-renown Catalan cellist Pablo Casals, who in 1890 discovered the music for the then forgotten Bach Cello Suites in a Barcelona thrift shop and made it his mission
to give them new life through performance. In a similar fashion, Henderson has made it his mission to reinvigorate and re-popularize Bach and classical music in general through his own performances, and by inviting musicians worldwide to bring their artform to the public, sparking millions of singular moments of musical discovery.
This year Dale will perform at the historic PICO-UNION PROJECT space close to downtown. The Pico-Union Project is the perfect intimate setting for a performance of the cello. This early 20th century synagogue was L.A.'s first until the congregation outgrew the building. It then became the church home for a tiny Welsh Christian community. Today, it is a beautiful communal space for both the sacred and secular, reflecting the multi-ethnic aspects of this immigrant neighborhood.
