Bach and Beyond

Bach and Beyond will take you on a musical journey around and through the genius of Johann Sebastian Bach. Start with the exultation of Trumpet Concerto No.2 by Tomaso Albinoni to gain an understanding of why this popular composer was so intriguing to Bach. Next, venture onward to Bach’s vibrantly fast-paced Orchestral Suite No. 2 with haunting melodies for the flute, followed by his intense Prelude and Fugue in E minor for organ solo. In the second half of the program, move forward in time to Mozart’s exquisite Clarinet and String Quintet, in which Bach’s influence runs through like a golden thread. We return to Bach and his glorious and brilliant Brandenburg Concerto No. 2 to complete the journey
