Johann Sebastian Bach’s Six Suites for Solo Cello are considered some of the greatest works ever written for the instrument. Each suite is a collection of five dances and begins with a prelude. But in the 21st century, we are no longer familiar with dances like the Allemande and the Sarabande. Dr. Brenda Leonard will introduce us to the six suites and discuss the various Baroque dances they contain by talking about and then performing one movement from each of the suites.
Brenda Leonard is the co-founder and Artistic Director of Classical Cape May. She teaches cello online as well as offering online music history courses through the Center for Modern Aging, Princeton. She earned a doctorate in cello performance from the University of South Carolina. Brenda also works for Cape May MAC’s Museum Education, coordinating and teaching in their Lunch & Learn program. When not involved in music activities or traveling to visit her children and grandchildren, Brenda likes to read and cook. Her husband, Alan, is the rector of the Episcopal Church of the Advent in Cape May.
