A Conference Sponsored by Bach Vespers of Holy Trinity Lutheran Church, NYC
Looking at “the Bach tradition” and the gifts it offers, this conference is designed especially for those who present Bach in worship, for those who desire to do so, and for all who simply love the music and tradition of Johann Sebastian. The Sommerfest is also intended for those who present/perform any church-based concert/liturgical events, with a special focus on reaching the broader community.
