To commemorate the 13th iteration of the Bach Cantata Series at YST, we will be presenting a concert of the somewhat lesser known of Bach’s children: P.D.Q. Bach (a.k.a. Peter Schickele).

This obscure ‘genius’ left us many unforgettable musical contributions to the great Bach line, including The Art of the Ground Round, S 1.19/lb; Goldbrick Variations, S. 14; and many other works.

On this evening, we will be presenting some of P.D.Q. Bach’s masterworks, including The Stoned Guest, a half-act opera, S. 86 Proof; selections from The Short-Tempered Clavier; the Canine Cantata: Wachet Arf! (Sleeping Dogs, Awake!), S. K9; the Cantata Blaues Gras (Bluegrass Cantata), S. 6 String; and many others. Join us for the fun as we celebrate this lesser known Bach talent with singing, staged opera and, most importantly, the world premiere of the sensational Cobi!
