The many talents of Johann Sebastian Bach were presented to a large and enthusiastic audience in the Nichols Concert Hall in Evanston, IL. The program covered his works for harpsichord, flute, and lute. Bach's motets were also not forgotten. A special highlight followed the main concert on May 4, 2012: a select few of Bach's masterpieces were performed in a one of a kind candlelit setting in the lobby of Nichols Concert Hall, creating a warm and intimate setting for the audience.
The choir, organ, and stringed instruments impressed both the audiences in the concert hall and those who tuned into the performance that was broadcast on the classical music station 98.7 WFMT.
The concert on May 4, 2012 was sponsored in part by the Consulate General.
