For generations, Bach family members held many of the principal musical positions in Thuringia and Saxony. In fact, ‘Bach’ became a local synonym for ‘musician’. Agave Baroque’s program features music of six different Bachs, beginning with an organ prelude by the much celebrated Johann Christoph Bach (first-cousin once-removed of J.S.), a sonata by Christoph’s brother Johann Michael Bach, and an orchestral suite by a cousin of the same generation as J.S., Johann Bernhard Bach. The second half includes J. S. Bach’s G Major Violin Sonata and the legendary Trio Sonata from A Musical Offering, as well as sonatas by Bach’s eldest son, Wilhelm Friedemann Bach, and his most famous son, Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach.
