Art of the Fugue/Light of Bach

Last weekend, the Providence String Quartet collaborated with photographer and digital media artist Sheri Wills in a performance called Art of the Fugue/Light of Bach. On Thursday, the group performed for a sold out crowd at the Providence Athenaeum; on Friday, they were featured at the West End Community Center, after a spaghetti dinner for the community. At the West End Community Center, the quartet was also joined by bassist Max Zeugner for a performance of Dvorak’s quintet for strings Op. 77.

"The Bach at the West End Center Friday night was one of the most moving moments of Bach in my life, for music, for setting, for context, for the future. Many, many heart-felt thanks."
–Charles, audience member at WECC

"Some of the nicest playing came in the two triple fugues, which use three different subjects. There was a nice sense of thrust and energy to the playing…"
