"People should come to a concert to hear something completely different." (Christian Tetzlaff)

Hailed by The New York Times as a violinist with a "poignant sense of inner life and emotional authenticity," Christian Tetzlaff joins PCMS at the Perelman Theater on Thursday, December 4 at 8 pm for a performance of two Bach partitas and two sonatas, music which he knows deeply and for which his performances are already widely praised.

Christian Tetzlaff has recorded for Virgin Classics and other labels, with releases ranging from the Bach Solo Sonatas and Partitas to the Mozart Violin Concertos with Deutsche Kammerphilharmonie.  Inspiring, subtle and freely interpretative, his technique is "grounded in a score yet at the same time wildly imaginative" (The New York Times).
