For generations, Bach family members held many of the principal musical positions in Thuringia and Saxony. In fact, ‘Bach’ became a local synonym for ‘musician’. Agave Baroque’s program features music of six different Bachs, beginning with an organ prelude by the much celebrated Johann Christoph Bach (first-cousin once-removed of J.S.), a sonata by Christoph’s brother Johann Michael Bach, and an orchestral suite by a cousin of the same generation as J.S., Johann Bernhard Bach. The second half includes J. S. Bach’s G Major Violin Sonata and the legendary Trio Sonata from A Musical Offering, as well as sonatas by Bach’s eldest son, Wilhelm Friedemann Bach, and his most famous son, Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach. The music will be woven with Agave’s trademark narrative to create a vivid portrait of this incomparable musical family. To get the discount, enter SSUSTUDENT as the promo code.
