Organ Concert, 10/12
The next concert at GLC is just around the corner! On Sunday, Oct. 12, at 4 pm, organist Stephen Ackert will perform more preludes and fugues in his ongoing series “The Well-tempered Clavier as Bach might have heard it.” He will be joined by the Bennewitz String Quartet from Prague, which will play some fugues from Bach’s Art of the Fugue as well as the great G Major Quartet of Franz Schubert. The quartet, founded in 1998, has appeared on many of the world’s great stages since winning the Osaka Chamber Music Competition in 2005 and the Premio Paolo Borciani in 2008. The concert is open to the public. A free-will offering benefits the church’s music program.
Stephen Ackert will also present a workshop on J.S. Bach as theologian and teacher for the DC American Guild of Organists chapter at 11 am Saturday, Oct. 11 at GLC. Bagels and coffee will be available at 10:30 am. The workshop is open to everyone.
