Viva Bach Peterborough Annual Bach Festival - Art of Fugue and Arias

Viva Bach Peterborough Annual Bach Festival - Art of Fugue and Arias

At the heart of Bach’s output is his mastery of counterpoint, and nowhere is this more profound than in The Art of Fugue. The Lydian Quartet weaves together its intricate voices, demonstrating Bach’s ability to turn pure musical architecture into something deeply expressive. Interwoven with this monumental work are some of Bach’s most lyrical arias, sung by soprano Mary Bonhag, including the beloved “Sheep May Safely Graze.” Organist Gregory Hayes joins to highlight Bach’s playful canons and pastoral melodies. This soulful program reveals that Bach’s music is rigorous, yet always full of humanity.
