About Dr. Anthony Newman – the “high priest of Bach”:
Wynton Marsalis called Dr. Anthony Newman “the high priest of Bach.” Time magazine called him “the high priest of the harpsichord”. Six times a year he is the high priest of Bedford Village as he performs with special guests at St. Matthews Episcopal Church in Bedford. Musical selections features a veritable smorgasbord of musical offerings, from solo and chamber works to orchestral masterpieces.
Dr. Newman has performed at Carnegie Hall and at Lincoln Center more than 60 times and has collaborated with Kathleen Battle, Itzhak Perlman, Jean-Pierre Rampal, Leonard Bernstein and Eugenia Zukerman. He conducted and arranged In Gabriel’s Garden, the best selling classical music album of 1997, for Wynton Marsalis and the Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center.
