J.S. Bach and Company--Baroque Consortium

Related Organization: Kansas City Public Library

Composer and musician Johann Sebastian Bach’s circle of friends and family included some of the most influential voices of the German Baroque era.  

The Kansas City Baroque Consortium offers a free Mother’s Day concert, exploring the music of J.S. Bach and his world – from his early sojourn to visit the great composer and organist Dietrich Buxtehude, to his friendships with composers Telemann, Hasse, and Abel, as well as the influence of his composer-sons.  

The acclaimed period ensemble launched in 2009 as the city’s only early music ensemble playing centuries-old instruments.
