Get your seats early! In this special pre-concert event, the Sebastians will play and explain Bach’s ingenious canons from the Musical Offering. Come delight in these intricately constructed musical puzzles: the perfect amuse-bouches for the evening’s program!
7:30pm – The Season Finale
We conclude our year-long celebration of our namesake, J.S. Bach, with a festive salon of chamber music for baroque violin, flute, cello, and harpsichord. This sparkling program features music by J.S. Bach and his contemporaries Handel and Quantz, including the amazing trio sonata and Ricercar a 3 from Bach’s famous Musical Offering.
9pm – Reception
Time to party! Raise a glass with the musicians of the Sebastians as we toast to “the mind of the master” and look forward to the year ahead.
