Bach Society of Minnesota: Double Concerto Extravaganza
September 20 @ 7:00 pm
The Bach Society of Minnesota opens its new season with a musical feast featuring scintillating works by Antonio Vivaldi, G. Ph. Telemann, Handel, and J.S. Bach. The musical mastery is powered by the virtuosity and expression of not one, but two soloists per concerto. Bach’s famous 5th Brandenburg Concerto will take it even further with three soloists.

The musical weekend is capped off September 22 with Water Music on the Mississippi, a concert brunch cruise and fundraiser that takes guests on a delicious and musical journey aboard the Minneapolis Queen riverboat.
“Prepare to be captivated by our Double Concerto Extravaganza, a dazzling showcase of the brilliance of Bach, Telemann, Vivaldi and Handel!” said Matthias Maute, Artistic Director, Bach Society of Minnesota. “By stepping beyond the realm of concertos for a single soloist, we celebrate the intricate interplay and shared artistry that define these masterpieces, offering an unforgettable exploration of the collaborative genius of these timeless masters.”
