Dongsok Shin presents “Prelude, Fugue, Dance: Bach, a Predecessor and an (Almost) Successor.”
J.S. Bach (1685–1750) was influenced by many composers including Johann Casper Ferdinand Fischer (1656–1746). Bach, in turn, influenced many other composers including Johann Gottlieb Goldberg (1727–1756). The program will include pieces both unknown and well-known by all three composers, tracing the trail of influence.
Dongsok Shin, born in Boston, has specialized in early keyboard instruments since the 1980s. He has performed around the world, on radio broadcasts, and on the internet with many different groups, but is most associated with the internationally acclaimed baroque ensemble REBEL since 1997. He is well known as a recording engineer, producer, and editor of early music recordings. He tunes and maintains early keyboard instruments for the Flint Collection, the Metropolitan Opera, and the Metropolitan Museum. Shin’s YouTube videos, produced by the Met Museum, demonstrate the earliest known piano made by its inventor, Bartolomeo Cristofori, and have garnered almost a half-million views.
