Young composers, performers featured at Bach Choir concert in Bethlehem
(Full disclosure: I wrote about this concert for The Express-Times, the newspaper where I work.)
As proof that classical music isn't just the legacy of a bunch of dead white guys, the Bach Choir of Bethlehem this weekend will have its 11th annual Family Concert, featuring school-age performers and composers. Alongside the works of Mozart and Johann Sebastian Bach will be new pieces by two high school students and a middle-schooler.
The concert takes place at 3 p.m. Sunday in Baker Hall at Zoellner Arts Center, 420 E. Packer Ave., Bethlehem, Pa. If you get a chance, check it out.
To whet your appetite, here's a video from 1985 of a performance of the Agnus Dei from Mozart's "Coronation" Mass. As a footnote, none of the Family Concert's featured performers or composers were alive when this was filmed:
