Bach to the Future

Ann Luongo, Neighbor

South Shore
Conservatory’s amazing faculty pulls out all the stops as they celebrate Johann
Sebastian Bach’s birthday in concert on Sunday, March 9, at 4 p.m. at the Ellison Center
for the Arts in Duxbury.  The sixth of seven Conservatory Concert Series (CCS) performances, Bach to the Future, led by Piano Department Chair Mark
Goodman, features SSC faculty and students playing all Bach music on a mix of
instruments, including harpsichord. 

The Conservatory Concert Series is generously sponsored by Boston Private Bank & Trust Company.  Thanks to their support, admission to the concerts is free, advancing the Conservatory’s mission of expanding access to arts education and performance.  CCS features the extraordinary talent of the Conservatory’s faculty.


“Bach occupies such a special place for musicians that the faculty was lining up for opportunities to play in this concert,” says
Goodman.  “He has been called ‘the center
of the sun and the man from whom all true musical knowledge proceeded.’  His Bach
to the Future birthday bash will culminate in the first ever SSC

performance of a full Brandenburg Concerto.”

Faculty members performing include pianists Ed Broms, Mark Goodman and Paul Hoffman, flutist Donald Zook, oboist Elizabeth England, violinists MaeLynn Arnold, and Amanda Roberts, violist Philip Rush, cellists Adele Carter, Michal Shein and Jeremy Harman, bassist Chris Rathbun, and vocalists Lorna Jane Norris and Randy McGee.

performance, the audience is invited stay, enjoy some refreshments, and visit
