Bach at Noon October
October 13, 2020 @ 12:00 pm - 1:00 pm
Event Navigation
We’ll continue with our taped performances in Central Moravian Church in downtown Bethlehem to present our Bach at Noon concerts for the fall season.
Because of the restrictions on gathering crowds during the COVID-19 outbreak, these videotaped concerts will feature smaller ensembles of musicians and – unfortunately – we are unable to have an audience present.
These taped performances will be presented online on The Bach Choir’s You Tube channel and on our facebook page on the second Tuesday of the month in September, October and November.
“Join us” as we present Bach Together October Watch Party – online in your home! Just click the image below at noon on October 13.
We will continue to monitor the regulations and update our information for the Winter / Spring concerts, January through April.
As always, each videotaped concert will feature soloists, along with members of The Bach Festival Orchestra, with an informative and lively introduction to each piece from conductor and artistic director, Greg Funfgeld.
We hope you enjoy this gift of spiritual and musical refreshment from the Bach Choir of Bethlehem!
Good will contributions gratefully received!
I’ll make a good will offering to the Choir!
