March 10. Get your tickets now for the new Davidson Bach Festival, an inspiring and inventive weekend of music kicks off Friday, March 28.

A collaborative effort between the North Carolina Baroque Orchestra, the Davidson College Music Department and Organ at Davidson, this four-concert event brings together many of the community’s most outstanding musicians to celebrate the life and legacy of iconic Baroque composer J.S. Bach. “Why have a festival devoted to Bach? In Bach’s music we find everything: intellect, emotion, craft, skill, challenge, humanity, divinity, transcendence,” said festival organizer Jane Cain. “It touches every aspect of our spirit and allows us to soar. This festival ranges from a lighthearted cantata about coffee to the profundity of the pipe organ. It includes the first Davidson performance of the inimitable Goldberg Variations and glorious collaborative chamber music.”

The performances:

• Bach Goldberg Variations: The Music Transcends the Medium on Friday, March 28
• The Coffee Cantata on Saturday, March 29
• Glorious Chamber Music of J. S. Bach on Saturday, March 29
• Organ at Davidson: Dr. Timothy Olsen on Sunday, March 30

Tickets for all performances and information can be found at the North Carolina Baroque Orchestra website.
