Bach's Lunch
Wednesday, May 8, 12:30 pm
Organ-ic Season finale
The May Bach’s Lunch features the organ with strings in works by Mozart, J.C. Bach and some fun surprises. Some of Mozart’s Epistle Sonatas use the organ simply as a continuo instrument, while a few let the organ shine as an equal musical partner. We will present two of the extra special ones here with a unique piece, a Rondo-Concerto, by J.C. Bach.
Please join us and bring your friends for our last program of the season! sdbaroque.com
