RCCO Toronto's Bach Walk 2018

I love orchestra, but I also like having Saturdays free. Yesterday was the 4th Annual Toronto Bach Walk celebrating Johann Sebastian Bach's 333rd Birthday and because I had the day off, I was able to go! 

We went to a series of churches and listened as people performed Bach compositions.

Church of the Redeemer at 1pm

Trinity College Chapel at 2pm

St. Thomas' Anglican Church at 3pm

The program is designed so you can easily walk from one church to the next. 

It's cool being able to get up and switch locations in the middle of a performance!

At St. Thomas' Anglican Church Elizabeth Anderson played:

Chorale Prelude: ' An Wasserflussen Babylon'  BQV 653b (a 2 Clav. e Pedale doppio)

Chorale Prelude: 'Herr Gott, nun schleuss den Himmel auf', BWV 617

Chorale Prelude: 'Liebster Jesu', BWV 731

Prelude and Fugue in C minor, BWV 546

Dad came along with me for this event even though he isn't the biggest fan of Bach. I was able to bribe him with the Birthday cake they have at the end.
I just love the music, the performances and the churches!

Thanks so much for the wonderful music!
