BachFest Begins at Providence College and the JCB
The Sunday event at the JCB is sold out, but please join us Saturday, October 22 at 7pm for our Providence College concert. The MusicWorks Collective is excited to present our annual “Bach and Friends” concerts this weekend featuring works by J.S. Bach, Padre Antonio Soler, Georg Philipp Telemann, and Benjamin Britten. We are also thrilled to welcome back Fred Jodry as harpsichord soloist. This year Fred will be joined in duet by Paul Cinnewa, fellow harpsichordist. Our Founder and Artistic Director Sebastian Ruth will perform the solo viola part of Telemann’s Viola Concerto in G Major, and we’ll bring some of our students on stage to perform with us for the beloved Air from the Third Orchestral Suite in D (also known as “Air on the G string”) by J.S. Bach. We’ll conclude the performance with the always energizing Simple Symphony by Benjamin Britten. This weekend’s concerts kick off our annual BachFest, with pop-up Bach performances all around Providence, culminating in an all-night-long Bach Marathon at Manning Chapel on November 11th We hope you can join us this weekend as we begin our celebration of Bach! – either in the beautiful Ryan Concert Hall at Providence College on Saturday evening or in the John Carter Brown Library on Sunday afternoon (tickets for the JCB performance must be reserved in advance).
