Bach Suites 1, 3 and 6 at Sharon Temple, an acoustically and physically wonderful space that also does justice to the master with its history of spiritual freedom and dedication to humanity.

About the Program:
We are delighted to have this very distinguished threesome to bring us one of Mozart’s very greatest works in any form, the legendary so-called Divertimento in Eb. As Alfred Einstein writes in Mozart: His Character, His Work (and as excerpted in the notes to a Kennedy Center performance), his only completed string trio (there are fragments) shares with most divertimenti this six-movement format, but from that no lightness of tone should be understood – rather, "it is a true chamber-music work, and grew to such large proportions only because it was intended to offer ... something special in the way of art, invention, and good spirits. ... Each instrument is primus inter pares, every note is significant, every note is a contribution to spiritual and sensuous fulfillment in sound." Einstein called it "one of his noblest works." It is the first substantial work for string trio, and remains the greatest - one of the Everests of chamber music.
Complementing that masterpiece, we have two 20th century works of great interest.

For Immediate Release – April 15, 2010: Toronto cellist Winona Zelenka, recognized for her warm and luminous tone, celebrates the launch of her two-CD recording, J. S. Bach: Six Suites for Solo Cello on Marquis Classics with an exclusive performance. On Sunday, June 6 (note the 3PM starting time), Winona Zelenka takes centre stage at Glenn Gould Studio to perform Bach’s hauntingly beautiful Suites 1, 2 and 6.
“My journey with the Bach Suites has been at the very heart of my odyssey as a musician”, explains Zelenka. “With this recording, I feel I have expressed the search for my artistic soul that began as a child and continues, as a servant of music who wishes above all else to tell a story. With this as my greatest desire, I continue to believe that there is nothing that can’t be said with this amazing music.”
