The Evanston-based Bach Week Festival will occur April 26-May 5 for the last time.
A 50-year tradition comes to an end with the final season of the Evanston-based Bach Week Festival April 26-May 5. For 50 years, lovers of the music of Johann Sebastian Bach have had an annual opportunity to hear his compositions performed by superlative musicians and singers at the Evanston-based Bach Week Festival. That celebrated festival will occur April 26-May 5 for the last time.
That will be followed by Italian Delights, a candlelight concert of Italian Baroque arias performed by Dutch soprano Josefien Stoppelenburg and harpsichordist Stephen Alltop at 10 p.m. on April 26 in the lobby of Nichols Concert Hall, 1490 Chicago Ave., Evanston. Complementary Champagne and fine chocolates will be served. Tickets are $25.
“The ‘B Minor Mass’ is definitely the big highlight,” Webster said of the concluding program at 4 p.m. May 5 at St. Luke’s Episcopal Church, 939 Hinman Ave., Evanston. The piece is considered a crowning achievement of Western music. Paukert was music director the first year, then turned the music director role over to his student Webster because he planned to move to Cleveland. Not only didn’t Paukert think the festival would last 50 years, he jokingly said, “I didn’t think I’d be here 50 years.”
