It is always a happy occasion to celebrate the birth of Johann Sebastian Bach, who toiled in obscurity for most of his life in Leipzig, and utterly changed the face of western culture. It's to the point that the music of the West is divided into two broad periods: pre-1750/post 1750, marking the date of the master's passing.
Nashville, Tennessee celebrates with Bachanalia, a six-hour marathon of Bach's music, presented at Christ Church Cathedral, 901 Broadway, 37203. Admission is free, and the music begins at 5:00.
Ya'll come!
