Viva Bach Peterborough - Organ and Cello

Viva Bach Peterborough - Organ and Cello
The 2025 Viva Bach Peterborough festival opens with a dialogue between two of Bach’s most beloved voices: the grandeur of the organ and the intimacy of the cello. Organist Aaron Tan and cellist Ignacy Gaydamovich bring out Bach’s genius for both invention and emotion. From the pastoral charm of the Pastorella in F to the noble St. Anne Prelude and Fugue, audiences will hear Bach at his most majestic. Paired with the luminous Cello Suite in G major—a work whose opening prelude has become an icon of classical music—this program reveals Bach’s extraordinary range, from contemplative chorale settings to dazzling virtuosity.
