The Secret Garden at the Rectory

<h3>Due to rain, concerts have been postponed to Sunday, April 25 | 5:30pm &amp; 7pm</h3><h3>Amit Peled, cello</h3>Renowned around the world for his profound artistry and charismatic stage presence, Israeli-American cellist Amit Peled pairs Bach’s monumental and joyful Cello Suite No. 6 – “a symphony for solo cello” as described by Mstislav Rostropovich – with a haunting work by the Swiss-born American composer Ernest Bloch: From Jewish Life, one of many musical works reflecting Bloch’s deeply personal and individual musical treatment of Judaism. Amit performs on a 1695 cello by the Italian master Giovanni Grancino – nicknamed “Shoko” because its rich sound is like a “hot chocolate bath.” “A glowing tone, a seductive timber and an emotionally pointed approach to phrasing that made you want to hear him again.” (The New York Times)<h2>When Bach Met Bloch</h2>ERNEST BLOCH From Jewish Life “Supplication” JOHANN SEBASTIAN BACH  Cello Suite no. 6 in D MajorPreludeAllemandeCouranteERNEST BLOCH From Jewish Life “Jewish Song”JOHANN SEBASTIAN BACH  Cello Suite no. 6 in D MajorSarabandeGavotte I and IIGigueERNEST BLOCH From Jewish Life “Prayer”

About the RectoryBuilt in 1785 and the home of Classical Movements’ offices since 2014, the building formerly served as the rectory of the nearby historic Christ Church, once the church of George Washington. Since then, it has been owned by several distinguished Virginians and has been a commercial space since the 1960’s.Located in the heart of beautiful Old Town Alexandria at 711 Princess Street, the Rectory is minutes away from the shops and restaurants of bustling King Street and is easily accessible by bus and metro.<a href="https://www.facebook.com/The-Rectory-on-Princess-Street-112557243808464/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Like and follow the Rectory on Facebook</a><a href="https://www.facebook.com/ClassicalMovements/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Like and follow Classical Movements on Facebook</a>
