Christopher Wilson, percussion professor at Washington State University, will present his marimba arrangement of Bach’s Partita in E Major, originally for violin. The concert will conclude with a presentation by distinguished scholar Raymond Erickson, who will speak on a variety of Bach topics and provide background for U of I piano professor Eneida Larti's concluding performance of Handel’s Chaconne in G Minor.

Bach’s solos for violin and cello are among his most beloved compositions. Please join us for a performance of Bach’s Violin Sonata in A Minor by U of I violin professor Giselle Hillyer, followed by the Suite in G Major (including the famous G Major Prelude) by U of I cello professor Miranda Wilson.

Founded in 2011, the Idaho Bach Festival is set in the beautiful architectural and natural landscapes of the University of Idaho and the Palouse.
