The Arts at St. Matthew’s: Grand Finale — The Bach Family
Saturday, June 8th, 7:30pm
The Bachs were arguably the most significant family of composers in western musical history. Johann Sebastian Bach, whose music is regarded by many as the pinnacle of western art, fathered 20 children, many of whom were also influential composers.
Conductor Andrew Leslie Cooper will lead a 16-piece chamber orchestra in symphonies by Johann Christian Bach and Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach. He will also present organ music composed by Johann Sebastian and other members of the Bach family.
All ticket-holders are welcome to stay for a soirée afterwards in the Lounge, where hors d’oeuvres and bubbles will be served.
