Life’s a Pitch devotees (hey, Aliza) may recall the 2008 Arnold Schoenberg birthday festivities, during which Hilary answered questions about that Chopsticks-easy violin concerto he wrote. I actually just ran through it this morning. Cake.
On Monday, January 11, Hilary will take your questions about J.S. Bach to celebrate the release of her new album, Bach: Violin and Voice. Joining her on the album are baritone Matthias Goerne, soprano Christine Schäfer, conductor Alexander Liebreich and the Munich Chamber Orchestra, with whom our girl will also collaborate on a series of European concerts featuring the material. Stateside, she’s throwing a Bach Party (get it?) at (le) poisson rouge in New York City’s West Village on January 12 at 7:30. Special guests, all playing Bach, to be announced.
So if you have a question about the album or about playing Bach in general, please send it to promotion (at) firstchairpromo (dot) com this week. Hilary will respond via her MacBook Pro camera, so check her YouTube channel on the 11th for her answers!
