Leon Schelhase
Bach and the Edge of Order
This concert features the dazzling freedom of Bach’s keyboard toccatas, performed alongside works by Buxtehude and Frescobaldi that inspired and shaped the form. The program explores the drama, variety, and improvisatory spirit of the stylus fantasticus. Harpsichordist Schelhase brings these Baroque masterpieces to life with artistry that speaks across centuries.
