Jackson Hole Chamber Music and The Center Present: Bach and Blues

Intimate Classical Music returns to The Center Theater Lobby with Jackson Hole Chamber Music at 6:00 PM on Monday, September 25th. One of the most popular events each fall, JH Chamber Music brings professional musicians to Jackson to perform in an intimate setting.

Experience the mesmerizing fusion of baroque mastery and modern innovation at “Bach and Blues,” where centuries of musical tradition converge in an unforgettable evening of chamber music. This captivating concert weaves together the mathematical precision of a Johann Sebastian Bach solo cello suite with the intricate counterpoint of selections from his monumental Art of Fugue, creating a foundation that bridges into the sophisticated jazz harmonies of Dave Brubeck’s rhythmically complex Blue Rondo. The program reaches its contemporary pinnacle with Stefan Smith’s evocative “In the Key of Blue” for string quintet, a work that honors both the emotional depth of the blues tradition and the refined artistry of classical chamber music. Performers include Ilya Finkelshteyn, the principal cellist of the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra. A full list of performers is available below.
