‘The beauty of Bach’s most sublime melodies reinterpreted in Dasha’s irresistible style and set to original jazz improvisations that would make this timeless composer not only blush with flattery but swoon with envy!’
Gregory W.Tucker
In this unique program, The Netherlands-based jazzsinger Dasha Beets interweaves three of the world’s great artistic traditions: European classical music, ancient poetry and American jazz and blues. Beautiful poems by great literary minds have been translated into English by Dasha and combined with pieces by Johann Sebastian Bach, performing this repertoire in a completely new way. It’s an enchanting program full of poetry and song, musical interplay and improvisation, a variety of swinging rhythms and the timeless melodies of Bach. The unique melding of artistic cultures, performed by musicians of the highest caliber, creates a one-of-a-kind experience full of unexpected little gems.
