Event Info: 

  Barefoot Chamber Concerts ("an enterprise noted for both its quality and informality" - San Francisco Classical Voice) presents really good music in the right acoustic and without the formality of most classical music events.

For the last concert of our season, we are delighted to be able to present music by this year's composer-hero, Johann Sebastian Bach, played by three local icons, Judith Linsenberg (recorders), William Skeen (cello and viola da gamba), and Yuko Tanaka (harpsichord). All of them are well known to audiences in the Bay Area and beyond, and the combination is rare and fabulous.

We're very fortunate to have had quite a bit of Bach this year already, but this program will really ice the cake. We'll let you know the full program as soon as we can, but for now here are some BWV numbers for those of you who like to toss such things around nonchalantly (we know who you are): 1009, 1017, 1028, 1030, 1035, and, intriguingly, BuxWV 235. The "original" instrumentations and keys have, of course, been sacrificed on the altar of fun, a practice Bach frequently followed, but the full program will give you the details for your full musicological records, should you need them.

All this in the lovely acoustic of St. Mary Magdalen Parish Hall. You can't miss this concert, but you can reserve a seat (recommended) by emailing us at info@barefootchamberconcerts.com and pay at the door when you come!
