BACHanalia, our favorite Cathedral Arts event of the season, is Friday, March 27 from 4:00-10:00 PM, and the nave of Christ Church Cathedral will echo for the 18th year with the glorious melodies and harmonies of the father of western classical music, Johann Sebastian Bach. And this year, like every year, is completely free and open to the public.
We have an amazing slate of artists lined up to explore and experience the riches of J.S. Bach’s oeuvre. Six hours of Bach—in both ways he would recognize and ways that would surprise him. Artists include:
Ryan Bede, Sarah Bery, Aelx Bolton, Greg Bunn, Nathan Cheung, Danny Coots, Mat Davich, Amy Dorfman, Stephen Drake. Jim Ferguson, Harpistry, Minae Hayashi, Jerry Kimbrough, Josée Klein, Peter Kolkay, Carl Larson, Sam Levine Jazz Combo, Justin Lo, Middie-Tennessee Suzuki Association, Music City Baroque, Music City Bratschen, Kameron Myers, Nashvile Chamber Society, Nashvile Sax Quartet, Parthenon Chamber Orchestra, Dan Reinker, Peter Rogahn, Michael Rose, Zac Schurman, Vanderbilt 16, Vanderbilt Violas, Michael Velting, Jennifer Warren, Nikki Wilson, and Marie Winget!
As usual, we will also have food and beverages available at minimal cost and merchandise for sale so you can take home a bit of Bach with you! Ample free parking is offered in the Cathedral lot, the Southern Baptist garage on 9th Ave, and the Tempo Hotel garage (Tempo garage for parishioners with green parking tags only). Attendees are encouraged to come and go as they please, bring friends, and experience all BACHanalia has to offer!
