The Eternal Bach
Church of Saint Ignatius of Antioch Episcopal Church
552 West End Avenue
between 86th & 87th Street, NYC
The opening night concert for Bach Virtuosi Festival New York is inspired by the NASA spacecraft, Voyager 1. Launched in 1977 and still in space today, its ongoing mission is to introduce planet Earth to intelligent beings should they be encountered. On board is a recording of 20 classical works of music, three by Johann Sebastian Bach, the most of any composer. BVF will present these three works, which will include the Brandenburg Concerto No. 2.
