Christ Evangelical Lutheran
2807 North Augusta Street
Staunton, VA 24401
Join us for a community-wide, FREE, marathon celebration of the music and majesty of
Johann Sebastian Bach
! On Saturday, March 23, 2019, our new Artistic Director (and Bach expert)
Nicholas Kitchen
will lead a delegation of Heifetz musicians to celebrate Bach's birthday from 9 am to 9 pm in the magnificent acoustics of
Christ Evangelical Lutheran Church
in Staunton, VA. From sunup to sundown, you'll hear superb string soloists, renowned organists, guitarists, pianists, choirs, and brilliant ensembles, consisting of both passionate amateurs and polished professionals, performing the inspiring and moving works of Bach, whose "perfectly proportioned structures stir primal feelings that transcend time, place, and creed, to express the inexpressible." Or, as one philosopher says, “music sets in order what life cannot.”
