"The Most Versatile Classical Music Organization in the Bay Area!"

"VIOLENTLY IN LOVE": Henry Purcell's Dido and Aeneas

& Tchaikovsky's Serenade for Strings in C



Join Bay Area Classical Harmonies (BACH) for its April production of two musical masterpieces, in two very different styles. Headlining the night is Henry Purcell's 1688 opus Dido and Aeneas, the seminal work of English-language opera. BACH presents Dido, one of the most tragic love stories of all time, fully-orchestrated and semi-staged. Paired on the program is a masterpiece two hundred years younger: Tchaikovsky's Serenade for Strings in C, with which the composer himself claimed to be "violently in love." BACH presents these unforgettable musical achievements on three different nights in April. Don't miss out!

Last Friday Concert Series:

Judson-Tyler Guitar Duo, April 2012



The Judson-Tyler Duo (Zachary Judson Selissen and Michael Tyler Roberts) joined forces in 2006 as graduate students at the San Francisco Conservatory of Music. They discovered not only a shared history as electric guitar-wielding classic rockers who developed a passion for the classical guitar, but also a common interest in a wide range of music, from jazz to tango to the Baroque. Their repertoire reflects these diverse interests, though they share a particular weakness for the amazing music of Latin America. Always focused on creativity, they frequently incorporate improvisation into their repertoire, and possess a growing body of original compositions and arrangements. December 2011 saw the premiere of The Portable Nutcracker, their genre-bending arrangement of Tchaikovsky’s holiday classic, which they performed for audiences around the bay area.


This program not only includes masterpieces by such composers as Piazzolla, Bellinati, and Villoldo, but also sonatas and dances by Scarlatti, Tchaikovsky, and Falla. Join us for a beautiful night of guitar mastery!
