Consortium Aurora Borealis Concert: Saturday, November 15, 2025
J. S. BACH AND SONS
In 2025 Consortium Aurora Borealis and the rest of the musical world mark the 275th anniversary of the death of Johann Sebastian Bach. This towering figure of the Baroque surpassed all others during this period, and was venerated throughout history as one of the greatest composers of all time. Composer Richard Wagner called Bach “the most stupendous miracle in all music!”
We therefore invite you to come out for “J. S. Bach and Sons”, an evening of eloquent chamber music. We’ll hear gorgeous solos, duets, and trios by this supreme genius of music, as well as by two of his composer-sons, Wilhelm Friedemann Bach and Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach. Both sons were keyboard virtuosos, wrote expressively and innovatively in their own unique voices, enjoyed renown, and bridged Baroque and Classical styles.
Flutists Penelope Clarke, Doris Dungan, and cellist Peter Cosbey reunite, joined by special guest harpsichordist Borys Medicky of Toronto. Medicky concertizes extensively as harpsichord soloist and chamber musician, as well as being a church musician and a sought-after harpsichord technician and maker. There will be a ballot draw at intermission for a gift certificate to The Cheese Encounter.
The concert is generously sponsored by Elizabeth Ganiatsos
