Schedule:
11:00 a.m: Grotto ii: j.s. Bach and sons at Colorado River Wilderness Grotto
J.S. Bach was prodigious as a composer and family man, producing thousands of musical masterpieces and over twenty children. Many of his children continued in the family profession as musicians, as had their father and grandfather. Carl Philip Emmanuel Bach and Wilhelm Friedemann Bach are represented as two of the best of the later Bach generation. The great man himself, Johann Sebastian, is given the place of honor with a performance of his Goldberg Variations in an arrangement for string trio by Dmitri Sitkovetsky. Written for the insomniac Count Goldberg to entertain himself on sleepless nights, the Variations remain one of the supreme examples of the form.
