Baroque on Beaver
In July of 2002 a totally “home grown” effort delivered
a most unexpected event on Beaver Island: Bach on Beaver. The
performance brought forth a wealth of talent, interest, enthusiasm
– and an overflow crowd.
Largely due to this response, and to capitalize on the interest
shown for classical music, another exciting event is being planned
for Sunday, July 27th: a chamber orchestra and choral performance
of Baroque on Beaver. Frequent summer visitor Charles Krutz, who
portrayed Bach last year, will again direct the musicians.
Tentative plans include a Handel organ concerto, some music for
trumpet and strings by Torelli, a Brandenberg Concerto by Bach,
and music by Telemann. The planned expanded choir will join in
a performance of the cantata The Lord Remembers Us by Johann Frauenholf
and Alleluia, O Praise the Lord from Bach's Cantata No. 206.
St. James Episcopal Mission will once again sponsor the concert,
but to accommodate a larger audience the performance will be in
Holy Cross Hall.
