“It became vital to me to focus on a new way of looking at Bach’s music…” — Eleonor Bindman

Here is the trailer for the upcoming episode of The Piano Pod 🎙, titled Bach Reimagined: Artistic Innovation of Timeless Music for All Audiences, featuring pianist, arranger, and recording artist Eleonor Bindman.
