An ensemble of five musicians (Maureen Case, Violin; Doug Craven, Viola; Matt Hawley, Cello; William Manley, Violin; and Dr. Caroline Salido-Barta, Keys) will perform the music of the magnificent classical composer, Johann Sebastian Bach. Bach is revered through the ages for his work’s musical complexities and stylistic innovations. Bach clearly shared his love of music with his children Wilhelm Friedemann Bach and Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach who also became composers and musicians.
The set list includes one piece written by each of Bach’s composing sons. The matinee event will include some readings and excerpts from Bach’s history. While his music is traditionally “serious” in nature, the ensemble will also play a few more whimsical tunes in the style of Bach’s errant son, P.D.Q. Bach, better known as Peter Schickele.
“Bach through the Ages” will take place at the Marion Palace Theatre May Pavilion on Sunday, January 12 at 3 p.m. General admission seating will be theatre style for this performance. Tickets are $15.
