Robyn Bollinger: Ciaccona The Bass Of Time

Violinist Robyn Bollinger challenges classical music convention with her debut recording, a film presentation of her multimedia recital program, CIACCONA: The Bass of Time. From the seminal Passacaglia of Biber and the storied Ciaccona of Bach to the ground-breaking Solo Sonata of Bartók and the explosive Sequenza VIII of Berio, this program explores the development of the ciaccona musical form from simplicity to complexity, and it offers a deep perspective on the relationships of these four remarkable composers across the ages. Pairing music with story-telling, this program demystifies classical music for any audience. This recording represents the culmination of Bollinger's prestigious Fellowship with the Leonore Annenberg Arts Fellowship Fund. Recorded at the Shalin Liu Performing Arts Center, Rockport, MA.
