About this concert

The Academy of Ancient Music begins its yearlong homage to history’s greatest musical dynasty with music by J. S. Bach’s forebears.

The concert begins with music by Heinrich Bach (1615–1692) – great-uncle of Johann Sebastian – before exploring the music of Heinrich’s sons Johann Christoph (1642–1703) and Johann Michael (1648–1694).
