November 10: Bach marathon concert

CMW's Bach marathon concert on November 10 was originally inspired by an annual Bach
marathon that happens in New Orleans. Hearing the story from a friend of mine
who was at that concert recently really excited me, and I thought that we can
and should do this in Providence.

And since this is happening in
Providence, and organized by CMW, it is going to be
something more special and unique than any other Bach marathon in the
world. The marathon will be a mix of performance of Bach's music (primarily for solo instruments) by CMW's resident musicians, students, and friends, as well as open interpretations of Bach's music by experimental musicians from Providence and other nearby
cities. I've already been asking these experimental musicians that would
be perfect for this, and everyone I've talked to so far has said "yes!" with
no hesitation.
