Concerts at North Conway's Cranmore Resort
21st Annual Bach Festival
August 28 - 30, 2009
The music of Johann Sebastian Bach and friends will echo through the valley again this summer, in North Conway, NH from August 28-30. The 21st Annual Bach Festival, presented by the White Mountain Musical Arts, will continue to present seven opportunities to hear and learn about Bach and his fellow-composers and the wonderful chamber music of the Baroque era. Approximately eighty musicians, professional and amateur, will gather for the four-day event to perform the great instrumental and vocal works of the Baroque masters.
Three major concert performances are scheduled for the Bach Festival on Friday and Saturday evening at 7:30 PM, and Sunday 4 PM, all at the first-rate venue for the Bach Festival, the air-conditioned 10th Mt. Pavilion at Cranmore, North Conway.
Each of the concerts will feature a concert preview one-half hour before the concert begins. Both works for soloists and small ensembles as well as larger works for full chamber orchestra and chorus are scheduled for performance at this year's Festival.
The full Bach Festival Chorus, soloists and orchestra will bring the 2009 Bach Festival to a close on Sunday afternoon.
