The “J. S. Bach Reimagined” concert is rescheduled for May 22, 2022 at 2pm. Come for the organ concert, then stay for the Ice Cream Social!
The concert features GPMC Minister of Music, James Biery at the Klais pipe organ. Three years before his death, J. S. Bach published six organ arrangements of movements from his own church cantatas; these are the famous “Schübler” chorales. Pursuing a “what if” scenario, Marilyn Biery created ten more pieces for organ from music found in the Bach cantata repertoire. These “New Schübler Chorales” were published by Augsburg Fortress in 2020, and James Biery will be playing all of them. Also on the program is a favorite of the organ repertoire, the Chorale in A minor by César Franck, commemorating the 200th anniversary of the composer’s birth in 1822.
Concert tickets are $10 in advance, $15 at the door, and are available at the church reception desk or online at eventgroove.com.
