What the world needs now is Bach, more Bach

What the world needs now is Bach, more Bach

The baroque violinist Tekla Cunningham has founded a Bach festival in Seattle, gateway to the new.

It opens next weekend in at St. Mark’s Episcopal Cathedral , moving on to Lynnwood and Tacoma.

Tekla says: ‘We want to offer high-level performances of baroque masterworks that support musicians in our community and bring people together. That means hiring artists who live and work in our region and paying fair wages. It also means creating a culture that values these fabulous musicians who make their home in Seattle and the Pacific Northwest.’
