Come join us for an afternoon of classical guitar, with Dr. Robert Bekkers (https://dutchguitar.com/) taking us on a journey from pristine Bach to virtuosic variations on Mozart and Rossini! We’ll host a light reception afterwards.

What's the music?

Robert Bekkers Classical Guitar

Sonata nr. 1 BWV 1001, J.S. Bach
Adagio
Fuga
Sicilienne
Presto
Intermission
Variations on a theme by Mozart, Fernando Sor
Rossiniana Nr. 1, Mauro Giuliani

Where does this music come from?

Bach's music has always been intended to enlighten the spirit and honor God. Even today his music can inspire us and spark a sense of awe. The music from the 19th century didn't try to inspire God in the listener but rather to make them feel good. The coupling of the two seems appropriate for winter where we have time to think but also have a longing for better days.
