For the sixth year in a row, students at Alina’s Music Studio will perform outside in Vacaville for the annual Bach in the Subways national classical music event.

The event, celebrating the music of Johann Sebastian Bach, attempts to combat declining classical music involvement through reaching audiences that may not get the chance to hear it elsewhere.

When Alina Solodovnikova-Adams first learned about Bach in the subways, she was reading an article in New York. She contacted the organizers and now her students are “part of the global celebration of classical music. So, that’s very exciting,” she says.

Solodovnikova-Adams has had a lifetime of experience teaching and playing classical music, starting when she first took up the violin at the tender age of 6. When she moved to the United States in 2002, she joined the Solano Symphony, serving as an assistant concertmaster there for 12 years. Now, Alina’s Music Studio is one of many ways she actively engages with classical music.

To Solodovnikova-Adams, the music of Bach is vitally important for her students’ understanding of music. “Bach is the God of music,” she says. “All the classical composers after Bach just look up to him and when they study music, they study Bach.”

While her students understand that they can play any genre, classical training is the base that is needed to pursue it all, she says.

At the Bach in the Subways event, set to take place in The Library’s courtyard next to Journey Downtown, about 20 of Alina’s Music Studio students will be performing.

Solodovnikova-Adams says she is grateful to Journey Downtown for proving performance and rehearsal space for the group.

Although it may seem daunting for young students to perform outside the traditional concert scene with an unpredictable audience, Solodovnikova-Adams says they are instrumentally and mentally prepared. “My training not only includes just learning music and how to play the instrument, it’s about how to present yourself in life,” she says.

“The whole idea of this event is to bring classical music to the people who normally would not buy a ticket and go to the concert hall. So to get their interest and to grow the seed of new classical music lovers,” says Solodovnikova-Adams.

She says she hopes hearing classical music on the street in this event could inspire some people to listen to it on their own, learning to enjoy the music as well as the health benefits.

“Classical music is so good for you. Besides brilliant philosophical thoughts about the life that surrounds you, it’s also good for your health because when you listen to it the frequencies literally affect your wellbeing,” says Solodovnikova-Adams.

There does appear to be a tie between classical music and mental function, with several studies over the past few decades finding that merely listening to classical music can increase reasoning and problem solving skills, originally called the Mozart effect, according to the National Library of Medicine.

Above all the scientific reasons for the Bach in the Subways event, Solodovnikova-Adams says she just loves it. “I love the idea,” she says. “I love the practice and with the students, I love them to be outside sharing their talents. I just love it all.”

The event includes a 30-minute set of Bach music for anyone to come and hear. “We just want people to come and learn about Bach and enjoy his music. They will be amazed,” she says.
