Bach’s Musical Offering
Thursday, October 1, 2026 at 7:30 pm
Pre-concert Remarks by Mark Edwards at 7 PM
Westminster Presbyterian Church
1250 W Exchange St, Akron, OH 44313
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.
FREE PARKING: The main parking lot for Westminster Presbyterian is located opposite the church building on W Exchange Street. The lot is accessible via W Exchange St. and Mull Ave. Patrons should park there and cross to the church at the dedicated crosswalk. Disabled parking is available in the small lot directly behind the church building and is accessible by a one-way driveway on W Exchange St.
