Most beloved sonatas and partitas – for solo violin
Concertmaster Jonathan Godfrey brings the genius of Bach to life with some of the composer’s most beloved sonatas and partitas for solo violin. An intimate performance that’s part of our Neighborhood series – short, casual concerts held in unique spaces across Houston.
Take in this beautiful music while surrounded by lush paintings at the Museum of Fine Arts; or lit by stained glass radiance at Memorial Drive Presbyterian Church; or over delicious comfort food meals at the Dosey Doe.
This concert is made possible in part by ConocoPhillips, Neighborhood Series Premiere Sponsor, and the Houston Endowment, the Brown Foundation, the Cullen Trust for the Performing Arts, the City of Houston through Houston Arts Alliance, and by supporters like you.
