From his biography on the LA Phil: Garrett is a dedicated advocate for music education. He coaches youth orchestras, visits schools, and is cello teacher for the El Sistema-inspired Youth Orchestra Los Angeles. At the Bob Cole Conservatory of Music at CSU Long Beach Garrett maintains one of Southern California’s top cello teaching studios. Garrett’s community service extends beyond the Philharmonic’s projects; he is a board member of the Los Angeles Bach Festival and the Los Angeles Violoncello Society and an active member of the First United Methodist Church of Pasadena. In his spare time Garrett enjoys games and sports; in particular he is an avid, if frustrated, golfer.

The Art of Fugue at First Church March 6th

The Art of Fugue by J. S. Bach at First Church

Tuesday, March 6th, 7:30 PM
at
First United Methodist Church
500 E. Colorado Blvd.
Pasadena, CA 91101

"The governing idea of the work is an exploration in depth of the contrapuntal possibilities inherent in a single musical subject."
- Christoph Wolff, eminent Bach specialist.

"The Art of Fugue is the last of Bach's great monothematic cycles. Often characterized as the "greatest," such a designation demeans aspects of monothematicism unique to the other three: the Musical Offering, Goldberg Variations, and canonic variations on Vom Himmel hoch. Whereas the Art of Fugue manifests its greatness in thematic transformation and fugue, the Musical Offering and Vom Himmel hoch demonstrate the rigors of canon, while the Goldberg develops a variety of keyboard styles unified by two-part form and bass line."
- Sojurn

Performed by the Brass Quintets from:
Azusa Pacific University School of Music
Colburn Conservatory of Music
California Institute of the Arts
