Still Thinking About Bach

Sheri Wills, the wonderful artist who collaborated with the Providence String Quartet to create "Art of the Fugue / Light of Bach" has sent me a five-minute Quicktime video that shows a little bit of footage from the Athenaeum performance and quite a bit of nice footage from the West End Community Center.

Note that the "staging" is considerably different in each performance. The Quartet had been concerned that if they sat directly below the images project on the screen, they would become a pit orchestra. During the first performance, it became abundantly clear that this was would not be the case, and that a different set up would help to create a more unified experience for the audience.
