Lubbock: On Saturday February 20th at 7:00pm, classical music will be coming to J&B Coffee’s “Back Room”. In a casual and relaxed atmosphere, internationally-recognized cellist Steuart Pincombe will play a program entitled ADAPTATION, featuring virtuosic pieces from the earliest to latest music for solo cello without the endpin (1689-1875). 

Three different bow styles (baroque, transitional, and “modern”) will be used to sample works by Gabrielli, Bach, Duport, and Piatti. The concert is part of a year-long tour of the country called Music in Familiar Spaces, bringing the highest level of classical music performances to new spaces. 

The concert will start at 7:00pm and the audience will be invited to order drinks and food from the cafe throughout the performance. 

One of the aims of the Music in Familiar Spaces tour is make classical music accessible to a wide and varied audience. This is accomplished not only by performing in familiar, comfortable and untraditional spaces, but by presenting programs that invite the audience to experience the music in a new and engaging way. 

Don’t expect a normal classical music concert! Audience members are also asked to “name-their-own-ticket-price”, paying only what they can afford and what they believe the concert is worth.

Concert details: Saturday, February 20th, 7:00pm. J&B Coffee Co. (2701 26th St, Lubbock, TX 79410).
