Violinist Jennifer Koh is beloved by audiences and critics for her consummate musicianship and the daring passion of her performances, bringing probing intellectual acuity to contemporary and traditional repertoire in equal measure. Her “Bach & Beyond” program pairs the Bach Sonatas and Partitas with works by contemporary composers such as Esa-Pekka Salonen, Elliott Carter, Luciano Berio, Phil Kline, and Anna Clyne.
