La Follia opens its 2019-2020 concert season with “Welcome Bach”, a concert featuring the earliest masterworks of J. S. Bach.
Featured are three sublime cantatas (BWV 4, 106, and 196), an audacious Toccata for harpsichord, and the unforgettable Toccata and Fugue in D minor for organ.
Performing are Gitanjali Mathur, soprano, Robbie LaBanca, countertenor, Jeffrey Jones-Ragona, tenor, Gil Zilkha, bass-baritone, Bradley Bennight, harpsichord, and Keith Womer, organ. They are joined by a ten-piece Baroque orchestra led by concertmaster and 2019 Austin Critics Table award winner Stephen Redfield.
30 minutes before curtain, three exceptional young artists will perform works by J. S. Bach on harpsichord. They were participants in La Follia’s “Bach for Young Musicians” youth outreach project during August.
Sara Schneider from KMFA Classical 89.5 will provide commentary during the concert as well as host the pre-concert event.
$30 General, $25 Senior, $10 Student. Tickets available via cash, check, or credit card at venue or online at https://www.brownpapertickets.com/event/4304410.
