The Blue Mountains Concert Society open their 2020 concert season on Saturday, March 14 at 7.30pm with an early music concert entitled Bach, family and friends. The concert will feature music by Johann Sebastian Bach, Carl Philip Emanuel Bach, Johann Christian Bach and Carl Freidrich Abel and will be performed by Thoroughbass members, Diana Weston on harpsichord and Shaun Ng on viola da gamba.
Thoroughbass is an early music ensemble, who have trouble staying in the past. Established in 2009 by director and harpsichordist Weston, the ensemble often performs contemporary music as well as that of bygone eras. The result is varied, innovative and original repertoire and some fascinating concerts.
Tickets are still available at a special opening price and school children can attend the concert for free with a paying adult (bookings at the box office or by phone 4723 5050).
The concert will be held at the Blue Mountains Theatre, Springwood. Details see www.bmconcerts.com
