Kingston classic music aficionados will be flocking to the North East Pennsylvania Bach Festival which will be coming in the middle of March. Three concerts are scheduled over two days. Reservations are advised and admission will be a free-will offering.
The first concert will be an organ performance featuring works of Bach and other well-known organ composers of his time.
The second concert will be later that evening and will feature chamber music performed by musicians in the Arcadia Festival Orchestra.
The final tribute to Bach will be a choral concert on Sunday. The Wilkes University Chorus will join the Arcadia Chorale and the Arcadia Festival Orchestra in performing Bach’s renowned St. Matthew Passion.
Items from the brochure printing carried out back in the fall say that this will be the fourth event of the five scheduled for the Arcadia Chorale 2017-2018 Concert Season. The final performance of the season will be A Salute to Sinatra, which will be coming in May.
The Organ Concert will be Saturday, March 17, beginning at 4:00 pm at the First Presbyterian Church, 97 South Franklin Street, Wilkes-Barre.
