Aston Magna Music Festival presents a streaming event, a J.S. Bach concert of chamber music, on Sunday, Jan. 31, 2021 at 7 p.m. Aston Magna presents the event in collaboration with the Mahaiwe Performing Arts Center in Great Barrington.
The program, “Musical Offerings: Chamber Music of J.S. Bach,” features some of the Bach’s rarely heard chamber. Musicians include Aston Magna Artistic Director Daniel Stepner on baroque violin; Laura Jeppesen on viola da gamba, Andrea LeBlanc on baroque flute, and Peter Sykes at the harpsichord.
“Much of Bach’s chamber music is lost, but what we have are real gems,” says Stepner. “His music for violin and for flute are central to those instruments’ repertoire. His music for viola da gamba and harpsichord is of the highest quality.”
