MGS presents Marc Moskovitz and "The Eyes of Bach"

Marc Moskovitz & The Eyes of Bach  

In this gripping novel, cellist and author Marc Moskovitz transports the reader into the milieu of 18th-century Leipzig-its cobblestone streets, music-filled churches, and a vividly imagined Bach household-a world where the practice of medicine was often rudimentary, travel was arduous, and the works of J. S. Bach had yet to be universally discovered. Based on true events and rich in musical and historical detail, The Eyes of Bach is a sweeping tale of one man's unrelenting search for truth.

MGS partners with Greensboro Bound to explore Moskovitz's latest book The Eyes of Bach.  Marc performs selections from Bach's beloved solo cello works, talks about music, writing, and more with Greensboro bound moderator Charles Hogan, and answers questions from the audience.  Purchase the book from Scuppernong Books at the link below or in the store.  The book will be on sale at the event as well.

Marc Moskovitz is principal cellist of the Promusica Chamber Orchestra Columbus and a current member of the North Carolina Symphony.  He has performed as a guest of the International Piatti Festival in Bergamo, Italy and at the Library of Congress, where he gave the North American premiere of Zemlinsky’s rediscovered Cello Sonata. Marc’s recordings include the music of cello virtuosi David Popper and Alfredo Piatti, both on the VAI label, and premiere recordings of music of Franz Reizenstein and Eric Zeisl (ASV label).  

Marc also writes widely about music. He is the author of several books, two of which have earned the CHOICE Outstanding Academic Title Award.  He has written program notes for orchestras and opera houses in the United States, Germany, Spain, and China, has provided liner notes for the Melba and Naxos record labels, and is a contributor to the The New Grove Dictionary of Music and Musicians. His latest book, entitled The Eyes of Bach, is a historical novel.
