Bach Birthday Concert March 21st

Please join us in the Sanctuary on March 21st at 7:30 p.m. for a special concert in celebration of J.S. Bach's 341st birthday featuring the world-renowned flutist, Mimi Stillman! With members of the Annapolis Chamber Orchestra and under the direction of our own music director, Ernie Green, the ensemble will play J.S. Bach’s Orchestral Suite in B minor, BWV 1067, his Keyboard Concerto in F Major, BWV 1057 (after Brandenburg Concerto #4), and Vivaldi’s flute concerto “La Notte” (The Night) in G minor. In the perfect acoustics of St. Anne’s, the planned program of music will soar.
