University City Symphony Orchestra Presents: Bach to the Future!
Experience a high-octane collision of classical mastery and modern innovation as the University City Symphony Orchestra joins forces with the world-renowned quartet Bach to the Future at Kirkwood Performing Arts Center. This isn’t your typical afternoon at the symphony—it’s an electrified journey that reimagines the greatest hits of the Baroque and Classical eras through the lens of jazz, rock, and world rhythms.
Led by Music Director Leon Burke, the program features the boundary-breaking Bach to the Future ensemble:
Michael Silverman on piano and keyboards
Rob Silverman on drums and the high-tech Zendrum
Tracy Silverman on his signature 6-string electric violin
Matt Bollinger on bass
From the soaring melodies of "Jesu, Joy of Man’s Desiring" to rhythmically charged takes on Mozart and Beethoven, this performance showcases cutting-edge instruments—including an electric violin that screams like Hendrix—to bring a "whimsical and high-tech" twist to timeless masterpieces.
