Like bears in the north country winter, classical music hits pause and hibernates when the mercury jumps and the winter visitors head home.
Enter St. Andrew’s Bach Society, whose summer concert series, which kicks off June 5, has served as a reminder of what the fall has in store.
This summer, the group’s 34th, St. Andrew’s Bach Society is hosting a pair of artist debuts and an encore with a popular husband-and-wife duo that debuted with the series in 2019.
The series wraps up in late August with a “string quartet playlist” that longtime society Director Ben Nisbet promises will be “a modern take on the quartet recital — a whirlwind tour of time, genre, style and spirit.”
Nisbet curated the program with fellow violinist Lauren Roth, the popular Tucson Symphony Orchestra concertmaster.
Lauren Roth is part of a quartet that closes out the 2022 St. Andrew’s Bach Society summer concert series.
Roth and Nisbet will perform alongside cellist Marybeth Brown Plambeck and violist Sarah Toy on Aug. 28.
