If he could have benefitted from thepossibilities provided by today's technology, Bach, with his genius, courage and depth, would not have hesitated to use any means of artistic expression to take the complexity of his music to the next level. It is precisely a masterly performance of the entire set of Bach's unaccompanied cello suites in a surprising form that cellist Răzvan Suma proposes for his national tour entitled Do You Like BACH?, taking place between 1^stand 21^stMarch in eight Romanian cities.

A Complete Picture and Music Show

The audience will have the extraordinary opportunity to listen to the six cello suites accompanied by multimedia projections on translucent screens,which will turn the concert into a complete picture and music show. The author of the multimedia concept of the event, Tom Brânduş, has come up with a real visual itinerary for the audience to enjoy throughout the whole concert. Each part of the suites will carry the spectators through a different story: complex projections will illustrate various aspects of Bach's life, elements of the Baroque period, when the composer created his work or suggestive details about cello and cellists.

Musician and multimedia artist Tom Brânduşhas studied musical production and visual arts at the Berklee College of Musicin Boston,Massachusetts and is currently teaching electronic music classes at the National University of Music in Bucharest. Among similar undertakings to the one for the Do You Like BACH?concert, he has put together music and video projects for theatre performances, various events and concerts, in which he demonstrated his skills both as a producer and a performer playing electronic musical instruments and live multimedia systems.

Răzvan Suma is one of Romania's most active young musicians, with a vast repertoire constructed over more than five hundred recitals and concerts all over the world. In 2009 he became a soloist of the Radio Orchestras and Choirs and he is currently intensely engaged in teaching activities. Since 2006 he has participated in six tours in trio - such as 'Romanian Piano Trio' or 'Trio Strad'- together with Alexandru Tomescu, Horia Mihail and Toma Popovici respectively.
