The maverick cellist—who made his name by playing the complete Bach Solo Suites at CBGB before the “classical in clubs” trend became a gimmick—brings his exquisite performances back to New York. He is still a pioneer, commissioning six composers—Philip Glass, Vijay Iyer, and Du Yun, among others—to write overtures for each individual Bach suite. Two of his concerts will be performed at Miller Theatre, and two others will be played “spontaneously,” with times and locations announced on Miller’s social-media platforms on the days they are to occur. (Columbia University, Broadway at 116th St. millertheatre.com. Oct. 22 and Oct. 24 at 8.)
