Bach Marathon Coming in March!
Saturday, March 19th from 11:00 until?

Calling All Musicians! Bach Ascending is hosting a party for Johann’s 237th birthday (March 21). If you play an instrument or sing, come and showcase your talent! ANY instrument (piano, violin, accordion, even harmonicas!) are eligible and these can be a solo, duet, or ensembles.

Every single piece by Bach is welcome, as well as transcriptions and arrangements. If you have a question about a Bach-inspired piece or anything else, contact us. Students — yes you can use your music! (Pro’s, too)

A $250 prize will be awarded to the best overall performance with a $100 prize to the most promising young musician (17 and younger).

• UPDATE: due to popular demand we have extended the time to 4 pm!

(As many are well aware the organ at Ascension is in poor shape; however, it has 5 working stops from the original Cassavant (8' flute, 4' flute, 4' principal, 2' principal, and Mixture III.)

AMARCORD
Wednesday, March 30 at 7:30 pm

Founded in 1992 by former members of St. Thomas’s Boys Choir in Leipzig, Amarcord has since become one of the world’s premier vocal ensembles and leading representatives of Leipzig’s music scene in Germany and abroad. Amarcord’s hallmarks include a unique tone, breathtaking homogeneity, musical authenticity, and a good dose of charm and humor. They perform a vast and highly diverse repertoire from medieval plainsong to cappella folksong arrangements.

The concert is FREE and OPEN TO THE PUBLIC. Reservations required.

Note: to my respected colleagues who are sore that this and Jeremy Denk in January have been on Wednesdays, this was because in relaunching and planning our season on such short notice we had little choice with agencies. I don't anticipate any more Wednesday concerts going forward. Thanks!
