Bach Dancing & Dynamite Society is now
in its twentieth season of bringing chamber music with a
bang to enthusiastic audiences in Madison and south-central
Wisconsin. Since 1992 flutist Stephanie Jutt and pianist
Jeffrey Sykes have been inviting other world-class musicians
to join them in a three-week summer festival that puts the
element of "play" back into chamber music, showing that
chamber music concerts, often serious to the point of
stuffiness, can be both serious and fun at the same time.
Our artistic goal is to break down
traditional barriers between audience and performers without
compromising artistic standards of the highest order. Our
programming is eclectic, ranging from the greatest
masterpieces of the chamber music repertoire to indigenous
African music to the newest music hot off the press. And our
performances are a visual as well as aural feast: each
season we commission art installations to create an
atmosphere more inviting–and exciting–than the traditional
concert stage.
Chamber music with a bang. More bang
for your Bach. What Bach would be doing if he were more fun
and less dead. However you describe what we do, Bach Dancing
& Dynamite Society always, always features great music
played with joy, creativity, spontaneity, and with a
technique that's second to none. Bach Dancing & Dynamite
Society is aimed at people who are curious, open-minded, and
up for anything. People who want to have serious fun. |
