Bach in the Subways

An international movement to sow the seeds for future generations of classical music lovers by generating public interest and excitement for the art form.

Palo Alto Plays Bach | Rinconada Library

Palo Alto High School students perform Bach:
Andrew Lu, Flute
Emil Ernström, Keyboard

Program

  • Movements from Flute Sonatas in C major and E minor
  • Prelude and Fugue No. 6 in D minor (from the Well-Tempered Clavier, Book I)
  • Praeludium BWV 999
  • Selections from Orchestral Suite in B minor
  • Miscellaneous dances*

Andrew Lu & Emil Ernström are both seniors at Palo Alto High School. Soon to pursue a career in flute performance, Andrew has had much enjoyment and experience performing works by Bach, among other composers. Emil, soon to attend college for music composition, has similarly found much reverence in the works of Bach. Although Emil and Andrew often collaborate on musical matters, this will be their inaugural performance for Bach in the Subways.

Andrew and Emil will also be performing at the Mitchell Park Library at 3:15pm

Emily Trask plays a bit of Bach

My name is Emily Trask and I am extremely excited to be able to participate in Bach in the Subways Day 2015, as I feel passionately about its message and movement.

I began playing the cello at the age of 8 and have always been deeply moved by classical music.

I am professional actress, primarily on stage, with a tendency to focus on the classics.  As a theatre artist I also work as a director, teacher, literary associate/dramaturg, and playwright/adaptor. I have found that my love for music and theatre are inextricably linked- – sometimes quite literarily, having played cello (as well sang and played other instruments) in a number of the plays I have done.

I have performed all across the country and here in New York where I make my home, and am delighted to play in the subways in Harlem on the morning of Bach’s birthday.
