Music and Museum: Bach, Brunner, and Beyond - Bechtler Museum of Modern Art
*The event has already taken place on this date: Sun, 05/17/2026
In conjunction with the exhibition Hansjürg Brunner: The Trial, this special Music and Museum concert celebrates the artistic vision of Swiss artist Hansjürg Brunner, a close friend of the Bechtler family. The program features music beloved by Hans and Bessie Bechtler, grandparents of cellist Tanja Bechtler, including Johann Sebastian Bach’s vibrant Brandenburg Concerto No. 3. Complementing this are additional works by composers such as Alan Hovhaness, Jean Sibelius, and Michael Harrison. The program concludes with Kalim, a contemplative and transcendent work by Harrison, whom Tanja met during his residency at the McColl Center. During the performance Tanja Bechtler will also present a slideshow of her personal collection of jewelry designed by her godfather, Swiss artist Bernie Ilg.
