I am a traverso player focused on the music of Johann Sebastian Bach and his contemporaries. I founded the chamber duo Musica Orphei with harpsichordist Heejin Kim. Our discography includes Bells of Morn, an EP featuring the sonata BWV 1027, and Through a Glass Darkly, an album of the sonatas BWV 525, 1034, and 1030. In March 2026, we presented a concert to celebrate Bach Day at Indiana University’s Beck Chapel.
Currently, we are preparing a second full Bach album and planning the inaugural Musica Orphei Bach Festival in 2027.
I share videos on my YouTube channel and essays on my blog, Cultural Insomnia. Write to me at sridhar dot bhagavathula at gmail dot com—if a response is slow to come, rest assured the fault is mine. ∎
