Bach - A Beautiful Mind

Fri 29 May 2009 - Sun 31 May 2009 Symphony Hall

Bach is the most universal of all composers. In its perfect balance of humanity, spirituality and god like-invention, his music speaks to all like no other. To many he is the greatest of all composers and his music has the ability to fit into the everyday rhythm of our lives but also to transcend it. To close the concert season, Town Hall and Symphony Hall will reverberate to a weekend of Bach masterpieces in performance, by some of today's leading performers.
