Zlatomir Fung performs the Bach Cello Suites

This concert is made possible through the generous support of Irene and Steve Johnson & Marjorie Yashar and Gerry Gibian.


Bach’s six Cello Suites are among the most extraordinary and iconic works ever written for cello. Each piece resonates with its own unique characteristics and sonority. This is a rare opportunity to hear the full collection performed in its entirety by one of the preeminent cellists of our time.
