In Alisa Weilerstein’s ground-breaking performance series FRAGMENTS, new music by some of the most compelling composers of our time meets the timeless beauty of Bach’s Six Suites for Solo Cello.
New commissions by 27 different composers are interwoven with the individual movements of the Bach Suites. The result is a collection of six different FRAGMENTS performances in total, curated by Alisa and underscored with bespoke lighting, scenic architecture and costume design from a world-class team of creatives. Each of the six FRAGMENTS performances embodies it’s own striking identity that transforms the Bach Cello suites in turn.
