Angels in the Engine Room / Stephen Katz

What would you sing if you put a word to almost every note that J.S. Bach wrote in his Cello Suite in G Major almost 300 years ago? Here's my answer to that challenge! Angels In The Engine Room is the musical theater piece I've been developing since 2015. Recent performances include the Bach Cello Suites Festival at Weill Recital Hall at Carnegie Hall, and at PAPER, STRING, REVOLT performance (where this video was recorded) in Northampton, Mass.

Mini Thanks uses “Flying Pizzicato”, an original technique I've been cultivating for decades. By articulating the melody and bass line while strumming chords, a world of musical possibility opens up as a solo cellist. Through concerts, workshops and online or in-person sessions, I've been sharing my work around the globe. Visit stephenkatzmusic.com for more information, repertoire, and teaching...

SET YOUR VOLUME LOW! A clip from a jam before school on Bob Marley's "I Shot The Sheriff". Olin doesn't "know" the notes yet, and he picked up his trumpet and started improvising on this tune we've been singing.

Angels in the Engine Room - A cellist sees the light between Bach and a hard place. (a work in progress) When Katz’s concert of Bach Suites is commandeered by the force of his inner voices, he is compelled to reveal what's troubling him: how to let the spirit of Bach speak directly through his cello, and how to explain why his unorthodox physical practice with a juggling ball has made its way i...

When Bethie and Olin came with me on an errand to the local violin shop last Fall, Olin saw cellos "his size" for the first time. Seizing the moment, we set him up with one of the them just to see how he responded. He grinned ear-to-ear as he held that little instrument, and though he barely produced a sound, he didn't want to leave the shop without it. I said we'd have to wait a bit longer bef...
