“Brandon Patrick George is a flutist who has gained much attention and accolades with his virtuosity and gorgeous round flute tone.”—Sound in Review

“Esfahani’s towering musicianship . . . would have convinced any sceptic that notwithstanding its limitation in volume and dynamics, the harpsichord can produce an exciting range of sounds that shows off Bach’s genius completely.”—Straits Times

Brandon Patrick George is a leading flute soloist and a member of the Grammy Award-winning Imani Winds whose repertoire extends from the Baroque era to today. He has been praised as a “knockout musician with a gorgeous sound” (Philadelphia Inquirer). Iranian-American harpsichordist Mahan Esfahani, whose Bach performances have been called “revelatory” (The Guardian), combines scholarship with showmanship to bring his instrument into the 21st century. The two virtuosos join forces to dazzle us with a performance of gems by a legendary father/son duo: J.S. and C.P.E. Bach.
