We begin the Festival with the first of the three great musical “B”s - Bach. One of the other two will also feature later in the Festival! A selection of Tocattas will disperse the weekday cares. Mendelssohn’s mature string quintet brings us into the Romantic world, which, after the interval, evolves into the atmospheric post-Romantic piano quartet of Fauré.
