Full program notes

Cellist and Chef Jeremy Russo combines the masterworks of J.S. Bach with a variety of appetizers made from scratch in this truly one-of-a-kind event.

Historical context

A Unique Approach: Jeremy performs Bach's Cello Suites according to the specific bow markings of Anna Magdalena (Bach's second wife and copyist), and with a Baroque-style bow. Although this approach is not commonly performed, it allows the music to breathe in a unique way and welcomes a fresh perspective to this timeless music.

The Culinary Twist: After the performance, guests will enjoy a variety of appetizers made by the cellist you just heard, pairing his passions for music and cooking and sharing it with others.

Bach’s Lunch is the ultimate pairing of music and food, all prepared by cellist and chef Jeremy Russo. I play through a Bach Suite in an innovative, informative, and approachable way and serve homemade appetizers after the performance. Here we explore the parallels of the culinary arts and music.
