Bach!

Bach! an evening of Bach for the clarinet
The Music at Brighton Allston Congregational series begins its 2009–2010 concert season with “Bach! an evening of bach for the clarinet” on Saturday, September 12 at 8:00 p.m. Clarinetist Steven Jackson and pianist Biljana Milovanovic will present an all-Bach recital in the church’s sanctuary.

Who was Johann Sebastian Bach?
One of the three B's of classical music?
Imperious face beneath an imposing wig?
Composer of the “Toccata and Fugue in D minor,” heard in countless Hollywood horror movies?

Yes, but less well known is the man as he was in life. Clarinetist Steven Jackson and pianist Biljana Milovanovic present a concert of his music with readings of documents written by Bach himself and those who knew him. Through music and words we meet Bach the working musician, poet, pipe smoker, school teacher, father of twenty children, bearing life's everyday joys and trials. Beneath the legend we see an ordinary man serving music, the betterment of all and God's will, while embracing life with passion.

The church is located at 404 Washington Street in Brighton Center MA. General admission is $10; students and seniors $5; low income free admission. All proceeds from the concert series will benefit the renovation of the Community Supper kitchen.


Free parking is available next door in the Citizens Bank parking lot; our thanks to Citizens for making this available. For directions to the church, please click on the link to the left.
