The Bach in Baltimore Orchestra opens its first BEYOND BACH Series Concert: Music of the Gods with Handels ebullient Water Music. This spirited and stately work for horns, oboes, bassoon, strings, and continuo is fit for the gods and goddesses atop Mount Olympus. Handel composed it for a concert on the River Thames for King George I. After such royal fanfare, the music will turn fiery and call to mind the Roman God of War, Mars with Beethovens Egmont Overture, Op. 84. Composed during the Napoleonic Wars after Napoleon Bonaparte crowned himself Emperor in 1804, Beethovens blistering work expresses his political outrage over Napoleons overreach of power. The Sturm und Drang will continue with Mozarts monumental Symphony 41 in C major or the Jupiter Symphony. Mozarts masterpiece, coined for the Roman God, Jupiter opens with a thunderous clap of strings and horns that builds to a finale of fireworks of breathtaking sound. The Jupiter Symphony is Mozarts longest and last symphony, and it stands not just as one of Mozarts greatest musical achievements, but as one of the most awe-inspiring compositions of Classical music.

Bach In Baltimore Presents New Instrumental Concert Series: Beyond Bach

July 31, 2019

Bach in Baltimore announced today that in response to audience requests for more instrumental concerts and music that extends beyond the Baroque era that it has created a new music series: BEYOND BACH. For more than 30 years, Bach in Baltimore has performed nearly every work Bach wrote during its First Sunday Series-ranging from the best-known standards to pieces that are so rarely performed, and Bach in Baltimore is one of the only remaining the only ensemble in central Maryland to present the cantatas of J.S. Bach regularly. The first installment of BEYOND BACH concerts will feature the music of Mozart and Beethoven. Because as great as Bach is, we all know that there is more.
