Giving Up Bach for Lent

The music of J.S. Bach has made an immense impact on not only the world of organists, but the world of music. This program is not meant to deny Bach’s excellent contributions, but instead an opportunity to listen to where his contributions have led many composers today. This program is filled with music by composers from around the world, of different ages and experiences, and will help paint a picture of the Lenten season.
