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 Rinconada Library at 3:15pm
