About this event

International sensation James Ehnes joins forces with New World Symphony Violin Fellows to share Johann Sebastian Bach's masterpieces for solo violin. When concert halls around the world first closed during the pandemic, Ehnes leaned into J.S. Bach’s sonatas and partitas – what he calls cornerstones of the solo violin repertoire. Through guided explorations in master classes and individual coachings, Ehnes has shared his reflections with NWS Fellows and together they bring these masterful works to life during this special event.
