2010 Program (Sneak Peek!) 2010 promises to be another exciting year for the Lake Chelan Bach Fest. We are returning to our past practice of an annual theme which pairs Bach with another composer. This year it is Mozart who will be featured along with Bach. This coming year, our Music Director, Dan Baldwin, has chosen a wonderful selection of pieces. At the Noon Concert on Thursday, July 15th, our Orchestra and Chorus will perform Bach’s Cantata No. 80. “Ein Feste Burg ist unser Gott”. Friday, July 16th, Haydn's “Symphony No. 82” will be performed at St. Francis Catholic Church, along with Mozart’s “Concerto for Flute in C Major”, and Bach’s “Magnificat”. On Saturday July 17th, at Riverwalk Park we will present a Pops-style Concert with pieces that will be recognized by most of the audience, even if you aren’t familiar with the title. You will hear Aaron Copland’s “Buckaroo Holiday”, “Corral Nocturne” and “Hoe-Down” from the Dance Episodes from “Rodeo”, along with Handel’s “Royal Fireworks Music”, and Grieg’s “Peer Gynt Suite No. 1”. After Intermission you will be treated to Richard Strauss’s “Serenade For Winds”, “The Fellowship of the Ring Symphonic Suite” from Lord of the Rings, “A Disney Suppertime—Tunes From Mary Poppins”, “Selections From The Wizard of Oz”, Leroy Anderson’s “Fiddle-Faddle”, and the Concert will end with John Phillip Sousa’s “Liberty Bell March”. This promises to be a wonderful Festival, one you won’t want to miss, so make your plans now to be in Chelan in 2010. String Quartet Planning to play at Local Wineries again in 2010!
