Bach & Breakfast — Giovanni Gnocchi

Start your day with a Bach Cello Suite

Six festival days start just the way any day should: a light breakfast of freshly squeezed orange juice and a warm croissant with a cappuccino, followed by one of Johann Sebastian Bach’s six Cello Suites, each one performed by a different soloist. A universally loved Biënnale classic!

After 10 Biënnales, the most sacred of all cello repertoire is stretched slightly. All six cellists have been asked to add a short solo piece in the context of the festival theme Shifting Borders.
