J.S. Bach (1685-1750)

Johann Sebastian Bach has been my favorite composer ever since 1973, when, at the age of 16, I began my studies at the Interlochen Arts Academy in northern Michigan as a high school junior. Thus it was with great joy that I heard a concert of Bach's music today. This was presented at the Olivet Congregational Church, as a part of a course on Bach being taught by Dr. Linda Jo Scott, my former faculty colleague at Olivet College. Included was both keyboard and violin music, and a lecture presentation on performance considerations for Bach's music. An altogether enjoyable experience!
