Renowned violinist Gil Shaham will perform J. S. Bach's complete solo violin works, six sonatas and partitas (BWV 1001-06), to films by photographer and videographer David Michalek, 8 p. m. Thursday April 14 at Zellerbach Auditorium on the UC campus, a program co-commissioned by CalPerformances as part of the Berkeley RADICAL series. 

After 30 years of privately listening to, studying and playing Bach's solo violin works, Shaham recorded them complete only last year. 

Michalek will appear before the concert for a conversation about the collaboration with CalPerformances' Rob Bailis.
