Red Bull Flying Bach makes West Coast debut in S.F.
[...] Red Bull Flying Bach takes the titan’s music to the present day by pairing his famed “The Well-Tempered Clavier” preludes and fugues with Swedish ballerina Anna Holmström and the Berlin-based World Breakdancing Champion Flying Steps b-boy nonet.
The show’s new tour starts its run Friday, May 20, at the Masonic in San Francisco before heading south to the San Jose Center for the Performing Arts on Tuesday, May 24.
Music Director Christoph Hagel, who was once a pupil of Leonard Bernstein, will play piano and period harpsichord amidst electronic beats and 70 minutes of dancing.
