The Complete Cello Suites Marathon

Members of the Seattle Violoncello Society perform the complete Bach Cello Suites. The Cello Society, as it is more informally known, has lined up 26 of the Northwest’s finest cellists under the leadership of  Seattle Symphony cellist Roberta Hansen Downey to perform Bach’s six solo Cello Suites Saturday at Phinney Ridge Lutheran Church. The performers take turns playing movements from six of the greatest works for solo cello or any other instrument: Bach’s peerless Suites for Unaccompanied Cello, probably composed during the years 1717-1723. As always, the marathon is free to all comers, performed by the Violoncello Society as a public service and a tribute to one of the world’s greatest composers.Members of the Seattle Violoncello Society perform the complete Bach Cello Suites. The Cello Society, as it is more informally known, has lined up 26 of the Northwest’s finest cellists under the leadership of  Seattle Symphony cellist Roberta Hansen Downey to perform Bach’s six solo Cello Suites Saturday at Phinney Ridge Lutheran Church. The performers take turns playing movements from six of the greatest works for solo cello or any other instrument: Bach’s peerless Suites for Unaccompanied Cello, probably composed during the years 1717-1723. As always, the marathon is free to all comers, performed by the Violoncello Society as a public service and a tribute to one of the world’s greatest composers.Members of the Seattle Violoncello Society perform the complete Bach Cello Suites. The Cello Society, as it is more informally known, has lined up 26 of the Northwest’s finest cellists under the leadership of  Seattle Symphony cellist Roberta Hansen Downey to perform Bach’s six solo Cello Suites Saturday at Phinney Ridge Lutheran Church. The performers take turns playing movements from six of the greatest works for solo cello or any other instrument: Bach’s peerless Suites for Unaccompanied Cello, probably composed during the years 1717-1723. As always, the marathon is free to all comers, performed by the Violoncello Society as a public service and a tribute to one of the world’s greatest composers.
