Deberly will play a mostly-Bach program, featuring songs for solo viola. Slightly bigger than the violin, the viola has a deeper, lower sound, and Deberly will choose songs which feature these strengths. The program is designed to be uplifting, restoring, and introspective, playing some of Bach's most well-known pieces, mixed in with some lesser-known hidden gems. This will expand beyond the norms of the concert hall, since you can listen to it as a recital program, focusing on the beauty and joy and intricacies of the piece, or leave it on while you work, clean, study, or play with the kids, to add some beauty and relaxation to your routine.
