Hilltop Bach
Regular Echor cellist, Nathaniel Boyd will continue the Hilltop Bach performances over the next two seasons performing Bach's wonderful cello suites.
​​
Nathaniel will perform one suite at a time throughout this six-part side series along with a light exploration of each movement and its significance. To top it all off, Nathaniel intends to combine his work as both a visual artist and cellist by exhibiting a new painting inspired by each suite at the performances.
​
These mini-recitals are free and will last between 30-40 minutes each.
