Great Balls of Fire is an evening of high-voltage energy and exhilarating artistry. Henriëtte Bosmans’ Impressions shifts from haunting lyricism to vibrant Spanish flair, while Paul Wiancko’s Cities of Air swirls with luminous textures. Moszkowski’s Suite for Two Violins and Piano dazzles with fiery virtuosity, setting the stage for a thrilling, surprise-filled finale. Stas Venglevski and the Houston Accordion Orchestra will ignite the concert’s second half, proving that when it comes to passion, rhythm, and sheer musical joy, no instrument sets the stage ablaze quite like the accordion.

One moment, silence; the next, a composer ablaze with ideas, creating music that will endure for centuries. That’s the power of Fire from Heaven, the inspiration behind the great chamber works we celebrate in Bach Dancing & Dynamite Society’s 34th season. Where does it come from? When will it strike? Whatever its source, it arrives like a bolt of lightning, igniting music that transforms, uplifts, and astonishes. This season, we revel in that thrilling unpredictability, as each concert brings forth a blaze of musical brilliance, lighting up the stage with passion, energy, and fire.

At BDDS, we play with fire—and this season, the sparks will fly. From electrifying chamber masterpieces to intimate artist spotlights, every concert in Fire from Heaven blazes with passion, brilliance, and the thrill of live performance. Whether it’s the smoldering intensity of a Brahms quintet, the flickering wit of a Beethoven trio, or the full-force blaze of Petrushka, this season promises music that will ignite your imagination and set your soul alight.
