Composer-in-Residence Will Healy returns with a free-wheeling program inspired by Bach. Selections from The Musical Offering and Will’s arrangement of Wachet auf ruft uns die Stimme lead to Bach-inspired works by Will himself. He is then joined by his colleague, violinist George Meyer, for their freshly inspired collaborations that remind us all of our debt to “The Old Wig” (as Bach’s son, Carl Philipp Emanuel affectionately called him). Our flutist, Heather Zinninger, and our strings join in the fun and share in the creative process.
