Queens Public Library Chamber Series: Bach & Beyond

The Queens Public Library’s Central Branch in Jamaica hosts a chamber music afternoon featuring local ensemble Musica Regalis. The program explores J.S. Bach’s Goldberg Variations alongside contemporary responses by living composers. Cellist Eleanor Choi and harpsichordist David Kimura present this dialog between Baroque masterworks and modern reinterpretations. The free community concert in the library’s auditorium space demonstrates how classical forms continue influencing 21st-century composition. Attendees can enjoy this acoustic showcase followed by a Q&A session with the performers about historical performance techniques.
