Discovering Bach In the fall of 2015, I embarked on a 33 day journey with the solo works of J. S. Bach. I performed the complete cycle daily, in public spaces throughout the five boroughs of NYC. I chronicled my experience with daily essays, which you can find on the complete blog discoveringbach.com . I look forward to bringing this project to many more cities in the future. Learn More
