The music of J.S. Bach influenced composers throughout the centuries—from Mendelssohn, whose “rediscovery” of Bach restored new life to his genius, to Philip Glass, whose works reflect Bach’s influence three centuries later. This program highlights the timeless impact of the ‘old master’, whose music continues to resonate today.

Bring your instruments to join us for our third annual play-along of the Pachelbel Canon! Two of today’s most celebrated composers, Grammy-winner Jessie Montgomery and Pulitizer prize-winner Caroline Shaw, share the program with Felix Mendelssohn’s brilliant Octet, composed when he was just 16 years old!
