The Bee Eaters play Bach in Ashland
This time The Bee Eaters bring their unique tapestry of sound - and 18 years of shared rhythm and groove, harmony, and improvisation - to the music of J.S. Bach, arranged for cello, violin, and hammer dulcimer. Bachs music has been a central theme in Tashina and Tristans lives since they were toddlers with small fiddles growing up in a tipi on the side of a mountain. Though the sibling pair spent as much of childhood practicing the music of Bach as anything else, they turned towards improvisational folk music; touring the world in bands, house concerts, the community spirit of music camps and festivals, and away from the stiffness and lack of rhythm and groove that sometimes permeate "classical" music. Now, when reflecting on Bach as the truly masterful improviser he was, (renown for improvising fugues on the spot amidst Baroque jam sessions), and considering the rhythmic dance forms he used, his works simply stand as some of the greatest music of all time, ready to be brought to life in musical conversation by anyone with an instrument to play them. He tapped a deep well of melody and harmony; deep enough to keep anyone challenged and inspired for many lifetimes.
Lets share in an evening of Bachs music in it's original setting: improvisational chamber music.
