From the Studio: Yvette Kraft Plays the J. S. Bach "Chaconne"

Spokane Public Radio | By Jim Tevenan
Published August 31, 2020 at 2:10 PM PDT

Violinist Yvette Kraft stopped by our KPBX studio to play for us, a welcome respite from the COVID-related drought of live performance in the last months. Yvette shares with us a piece she just learned, but will never be "done" with, Sebastian Bach's "Chaconne," from his Partia No. 2 for Solo Violin.

After more than 25 years of teaching music, theater and English in San Francisco schools, Jim relocated to Spokane in 1995 to become organist/music director for St. Augustine Parish on the South Hill. Since around 2004, with the help and patience of Verne Windham, he has been able to realize his long-standing dream of doing radio. Jim specializes in classical music, but also can do the occasional jazz show. Jim and his wife, Carol, fill their free time caring for llamas, rabbits and chickens after having watched their two children grow up and leave the nest.
