Today, I will be attending the first concert of a 15 concert series of all of J.S. Bach’s Organ works. The concerts will be spread over 3 years. The series will be performed by Jonathan Biggers in the Binghamton First Presbyterian Church. I expect it to be a fantastic event: the first sign of higher culture so far. I will post more about what I thought at a later time.
What a great show. I really enjoyed it. Here are the two feature pieces:
Toccata and Fugue in D Minor:
and “The Wedge:”
Sounds like a wonderful series!
J. S. Bach looks very irritable and scornful in that portrait.
A vast majority of composers look pissed in their portraits.
Once upon a time I lived in an area where wonderful concerts showcasing classical music took place. It sounds great, your being able to experience some old time classics… enjoy.
I really did. It was a great concert.
