Join Blue Hill Bach for the opening concert of the festival, exploring the music of the Bach family through sacred expressions of anguish, death, joy, and fulfillment. The program also features music for organ on the Karl Wilhelm tracker.

The program features Johann Christoph Bach’s Ach dass ich Wassers gnug hätte, alongside J.S. Bach’s Ich habe genug (BWV 82) and Jesu, meine Freude (BWV 227). Together, these works reveal a shared expressive language while illuminating the distinct voices within the Bach family.
