Les Bostonades Announce Concert

Les Bostonades welcomes its artistic advisor, internationally acclaimed harpsichordist Hank Knox, to join the ensemble for its season finale on Friday, May 25, 2018 at 7:30 p.m. at Gordon Chapel, Old South Church, 645 Boylston St., Boston, MA. The program features Knox as concerto soloist and conductor for a program of works by J.S. Bach and the lesser known Johann Bernhard Bach (a second cousin of J.S. Bach).

Tickets start at $15 and are available at the door or online via Brown Paper Tickets, or by calling (617)304-8843.

The program includes J. S. Bach's Concerto in C minor for Two Harpsichords, BWV 1060, performed by Knox and Bostonades' artistic director Akiko Sato; J.S. Bach's Overture for Violin and Strings in A minor BWV 1067a, in an arrangement reconstructed by musicologist Werner Breig; and two rarely performed Orchestral Suites (No. 3 in E minor and No. 4 in D major) by Johann Bernhard Bach, whose musical style has been compared to that of Telemann.
