Joined by the wonderful Latin Grammy-Winning Samuel Torres and Louis Arques, Bach to Brazil takes audiences through three centuries of cultural cross-pollination stories leading to today’s Nuevo Latino Voices … while paying homage to the folk narratives that inspire them.

ABOUT BRIDGET KIBBEY
Called the “Yo-Yo Ma of the harp,” by Vogue magazine, Bridget Kibbey is in demand for her innovative, virtuosic performances that expand the expressive range of the harp. Collaborating with some of today’s top artists, she crosses genres to emphasize the harp’s role through centuries and cultures of music. The New York Times has remarked that “…she made it seem as though her instrument had been waiting all its life to explode with the gorgeous colors and energetic figures she was getting from it.” Bach to Brazil includes newly-commissioned works that highlight the Nuevo Latino luminaries living in NYC and the folk masters that inspired them in a mash-up of maracatú, frevo, chorinho, bossa nova, joropo, tango, and cumbia from Argentina, Brazil, Colombia, Cuba, and Venezuela.

ABOUT MAKE TRIO
MAKE—violinist Grace Kang Wollett, clarinetist Danny Goldman, and pianist Mikhail Berestnev—presents versatile performances and content that is engaging to audiences around the world. The trio made its formal debut at the 2019 Basically Beethoven Festival with a recital entitled “The American Sound,” in which the Dallas Morning News said “the ensemble’s style fit the character of the music like a tailored suit.” Other recent reviews describe the trio as having “an incredibly rich sound” (Cry Havoc Theater) and as “mind blowing to hear such transcendental difficulties played with a combination of technical mastery and keen musical insight” (Theater Jones).
It created a performance concept called “The Classical Lounge” to bring audiences closer to the music. To further this vision, MAKE has partnered with SamsungVR (Virtual Reality) to produce three-Dimensional, 360-degree classical music concerts for the public; these videos have now been viewed in over 40 countries. It started a channel of professional music videos and documentary style film shoots about being a musician and working in a classical chamber ensemble.
Recent collaborations include work with Avant Chamber Ballet, Ballet North Texas, and Bruce Wood Dance at Annette Strauss Square, and live shows in Moody Performance Hall, Winspear Opera House’s Hamon Hall, and The Tin Star Theater.

ABOUT MAKE TRIO
MAKE—violinist Grace Kang Wollett, clarinetist Danny Goldman, and pianist Mikhail Berestnev—presents versatile performances and content that is engaging to audiences around the world. The trio made its formal debut at the 2019 Basically Beethoven Festival with a recital entitled “The American Sound,” in which the Dallas Morning News said “the ensemble’s style fit the character of the music like a tailored suit.” Other recent reviews describe the trio as having “an incredibly rich sound” (Cry Havoc Theater) and as “mind blowing to hear such transcendental difficulties played with a combination of technical mastery and keen musical insight” (Theater Jones).
It created a performance concept called “The Classical Lounge” to bring audiences closer to the music. To further this vision, MAKE has partnered with SamsungVR (Virtual Reality) to produce three-Dimensional, 360-degree classical music concerts for the public; these videos have now been viewed in over 40 countries. It started a channel of professional music videos and documentary style film shoots about being a musician and working in a classical chamber ensemble.
Recent collaborations include work with Avant Chamber Ballet, Ballet North Texas, and Bruce Wood Dance at Annette Strauss Square, and live shows in Moody Performance Hall, Winspear Opera House’s Hamon Hall, and The Tin Star Theater.

RACHMANINOV Elegie, op. 3, no. 1
ABOUT Natasha Paremski
With her consistently striking and dynamic performances, pianist Natasha Paremski reveals astounding virtuosity and voracious ability. Her “astonishing ease, superb control, and lyrical sensitivity…with ample power where needed” generates excitement from around the globe; she has performed with major orchestras and well-known recital series across five continents, including debuts last season in South Africa and Colombia (Minneapolis Star-Tribune). A passionate chamber musician, she regularly collaborates with Grammy-winning cellist Zuill Bailey, in performances and on recordings—one of which topped the Billboard Classical Chart for weeks and was featured on The New York Times playlist. Other accolades include the Gilmore Young Artists prize, the Prix Montblanc, and the Classical Recording Foundation’s Young Artist of the Year.
Natasha was born in Moscow, where she started piano studies at the age of 4. She became a U.S. citizen shortly after immigrating when she was 8, and completed her studies at the Mannes School of Music in New York, where she is now based.

Avery Gagliano cannot remember a time that music wasn’t a part of her life; it has always been her “most natural form of expression.” At age 9, she made her Carnegie Hall debut and her orchestral debut at the Strathmore Concert Hall. The following year she appeared on the NPR’s From the Top, was featured in the PBS documentary Arts and the Mind, and made her solo recital debut. Currently in her fourth year at the Curtis Institute of Music studying with Jonathan Biss and Gary Graffman, she has taken first prize at the Aspen Music Concerto, MostArts Festival Piano, and Chopin International Piano (Hartford) Competitions, was young scholar of the Lang Lang International Music Foundation, and is a 2019 National YoungArts winner in music. As a soloist and an avid chamber musician, the Washington, D.C.-native has performed in major concert venues in her hometown, as well as across the United States, and in Paris, Oxford, Munich, and Perugia in Europe. During her free time, Avery writes pop songs, and loves to sing, read, and play ultimate frisbee.
