Bach’s Musical Offering


Presented by the Kenneth L. Taylor Concert Series at Kenyon College

Brandi Recital Hall at Kenyon College

Join Les Délices in a realm of musical riddles, where J.S. Bach’s intricate counterpoint and clever canons come to life through a rich palette of instrumental colors. This imaginative program beautifully balances excerpts from Papa Bach’s ingenious Musical Offering with his son C.P.E. Bach’s expressive, melodic music.
