The stage is set for the remarkable new work, “Johnny Loves Johann,” presented by Kenan Institute for the Arts and debuting at UNCSA Friday, May 1, for a three-day limited run.

Led by GRAMMY-winning violinist and 2024 MacArthur Fellow Johnny Gandelsman, this powerful performance blends a folk-inspired violin interpretation of Bach’s Cello Suites with all-original choreography and performances by John Heginbotham, Caili Quan, Jamar Roberts, and Melissa Toogood.
