Great Music in a Great Space: David Briggs
Cathedral Artist in Residence David Briggs presents a virtual concert illustrating the huge variety of J.S. Bach’s compositional output for the instrument, including two colossal cornerstones of the repertoire: Toccata, Adagio and Fugue in C (BWV 564) and Prelude and Fugue in E flat (BWV 552), as well as the incredible Ricercare à Six (from the Musical Offering) and four Chorale Preludes, illustrating Bach's huge prowess in always creating something out-of-the-box, even when using pre-existing compositional templates.
The concert will stream live for free at 7:30 PM on Tuesday, February 1. Join us on this page, the Cathedral's Facebook page, or YouTube channel at 7:30 to watch!
