Ticketing Information
Low Availability: call Carnegie Hall Box Office for available seating at 212-247-7800
Though J.S. Bach never set foot in France, the elegance of French music and dance profoundly shaped his work. Join Orchestra of St. Luke’s for an evening that explores this influence, pairing Bach’s music with that of Jean-Marie Leclair—the “French Bach”—in twin A-minor concertos led by conductor and violinist Théotime Langlois de Swarte. Experience the vibrant fusion of French grace and German depth in a program celebrating musical dialogue across borders.
