Join NYBI’s artistic director Wen Yang for a live stream featuring soloist Matt Zucker performing J. S. Bach’s Cello Suite No. 5.
“Cruel absence, thou lover’s hell! what pangs, what soul felt pangs, dost thou inflict!—Cheer up, my child of discretion — and comfort you self that every day will bring the endearing moment of meeting, so much nearer—chew the cud upon rapture in reversion—and indulge your fancy with the sweet food of intellectual endearments; — paint in your imagination the thousand graces of your H—— , and believe this absence a lucky trial of her constancy.”
