Bach: Musical Offering with Monica Huggett

Oregon Bach Festival presents Bach: Musical Offering with Monica Huggett

In 1747, a weary and aging Bach visited his son C.P.E. in the Potsdam court of King Frederick of Prussia. Upon J.S.’s arrival, the king bellowed “Old Bach is here!” and proceeded to issue J.S. a challenge – compose a six-voice fugue based on a simple musical theme. From that challenge, the iconic Musical Offering was born, and the world was changed forever.

These policies are subject to change as the Festival progresses.
