Annual Bach Birthday Concert
Saturday, March 21st, 2026, 7:30pm
The Gloucester Meetinghouse Foundation is proud to host Brandenburg and Beyond, a neo-baroque ensemble featuring a combination of flute, oboe, harpsichord, and strings, for its annual Bach Birthday Concert on Saturday, March 21st at 7:30pm. We are especially grateful to H. Woody Brock, who provided a generous gift to make this concert possible.
The ensemble performs classic baroque works as well as contemporary music written in this century. The resident harpsichordist, Chris Gantner, is a composer who frequently premiers new works specifically for the group. These New England-based artists perform all over the world and hold teaching and performance positions at various orchestras, colleges, and universities.
The program entitled ‘Bach and His Sons’ will feature the following pieces:
Brandenburg Concerto No. 2 by J.S. Bach
Concerto for Flute and Strings in D Minor by CPE Bach
Prelude and Fugue in C Minor for Organ by J.S. Bach
The Short Tempered Klavier by P.D.Q. Bach - arranged for this occasion and unique instrumentation by Chris Gantner
