An Afternoon With the Bach Family
C.P.E. Bach, son of Johann Sebastian Bach, described life in his father’s home as a “musical beehive.” It must have been, because J.S. Bach had 21 children. Many went on to successful professional musical careers, with Carl Philip Emmanuel and Johann Christian enjoying greater fame during their lifetimes than their father. The family music making, along with impromptu get-togethers with friends, must have been extraordinary indeed. Members of the Aulos Ensemble will have some fun pretending to be members of the Bach family, treating us to Bach favorites, in this one-hour program specifically for young school-age musicians. Tickets $12
