We’ve Got Your Bach: Your Guide to Events
CMW presents a week-long celebration of all things J. S. Bach!
The season’s shift to crisp temperatures and falling leaves signals Community MusicWorks’ annual autumn tribute to the works of Johann Sebastian Bach, his contemporaries, and music inspired by the composer.
We kick off the week with a virtual Sunday afternoon concert filmed at various locations within the gorgeously renovated Providence Public Library, share a student-led week-long exploration of the life and notebooks of Anna Magdalena Bach, and take to the airwaves Friday evening with our annual Bach marathon in our week-long celebration of J.S. Bach.
The Events:
Bach and Friends

Filmed at the Providence Public Library, the MusicWorks Collective and Fellows Quartet animate the newly renovated spaces with works by J.S. Bach, pioneering French composer Élisabeth Jacquet de la Guerre, and a contemporary piece by Missy Mazzoli.
