2008-2009 Concert Season

For directions to concert venues CLICK HERE	2008/2009 Season This season the Bach Society of Minnesota brings you three concerts, each exploring a different aspect of community. From works for solo harpsichord to full cantatas, from the sacred to the hilariously profane, this season has something for every Bach lover. Once again our audiences will be treated to the witty and informative commentary of local musicologist, Mary Burke. Her insights on the historical contexts and musical expression help to make the Bach Society of Minnesota‘s concerts anything but stuffy. Click on Tickets above to order yours now.
