Bach In The Clubs

Cellist Matt Haimovitz on playing classical music in pop music clubs: “There’s a certain kind of music that, for me, belongs in an intimate space. There’s something authentic about playing Bach in a club. We’re always talking about authentic performances, but for me there’s something wrong with putting baroque music in a place like Roy Thomson Hall. It’s much more appropriate in a smaller setting — in something like the coffeehouses Bach was familiar with.”
