| 12/3/2023 |  The Music of Bach Bach’s music is a perennial favorite. The pieces we’ll play will feature parts that are straight-forward and parts that are challenging, and rather than it being a quick skate-through of a large number of pieces, we will be doing a deep dive into just a few, allowing those who want to play each of the parts to do so, while also giving those who prefer to play multiple repetitions while staying on the same line that opportunity too. If you’re up for a challenge, here’s your chance! And if you just want to be a part of some wonderful music, this is a workshop for you too. more info... |
