Frequency: Bach Refractions

The chamber trio Frequency – UW faculty members Sæunn Thorsteinsdóttir (cello) and Melia Watras (viola), and Pacific Northwest Ballet concertmaster Michael Jinsoo Lim (violin) – turns its lens on Bach in this performance of selections from Bach’s Goldberg Variations, arranged for string trio. Works from each instrument’s solo repertoire demonstrating other composers’ takes on Bach rounds out the program by this dynamic group of top-flight musicians.

Frequency is a new Seattle-based ensemble, joining together distinguished artists from two acclaimed chamber groups, the Corigliano Quartet and Decoda. Frequency is a modular chamber music group, breaking into different parts to present solos, duos and trios, while also expanding with renowned guest artists to perform in a variety of formations. Frequency members have performed as soloists and chamber musicians worldwide, in leading concert halls such as Carnegie Hall, Alice Tully Hall, Weill Recital Hall, Suntory Hall, and Disney Hall. The ensemble begins presenting innovative, invigorating and intriguing concerts in the 2016-17 season.
