Show Cellist to perform Bach Sunday at Park City Cellist David Freed, adjunct associate professor of music at the University ill perform Bach's "Six Suites for Violoncello" on Sunday, at 8 p.m. in the Resort Activity Center at Park City, Utah The free public concert is the first event in the Park City segment of the University's "Summerful Series" entertainment, which also includes on-campus lectures and concerts, exhibits and theatre. Mr. Freed, who was for a decade principal cellist of the Utah Symphony Orchestra, was the first cellist in concert annals to publicly present a concert program comprised of all six of Bach's solo cello suites. In 1956 he gave three New York City performances of the program in conventional concert hall settings the Kaufman Auditorium, Audi-torium, Carnegie Recital Hall and the Museum of the City of New York. "The performance of all six suites on a single program is essenti-ally essenti-ally a means of entering into Bach's own 'programming' of the compositions," Mi-. Freed contends. "He wrote them for a single employer (Prince Leopole) during a short span of years, and the manner in which the suites complement one another was obviously part of Bach's plan." The Utah musician will perform the Bach program again this summer on August 13 at Elon College in North Carolina, at the invitation in-vitation of the National School Orchestra Association. Mr. Freed is the author of two books for young cellists "Cello Adventures and "The Cello Explorer." He is currently on a year's leave of absence from his post as cello specialist for the Ogden (Utah) City Schools. |
