This program leans into Baroque sensibilities, featuring orchestral music by the master himself, Johann Sebastian Bach, as well as 20th century composers who were inspired by his elaborate and intricate harmonies, unfurling a rich tapestry of sound that spans centuries. This concert features an arrangement of Henry Purcell’s trumpet tunes, which occupies a special place in our history. In fact, this arrangement by the SPCO’s first music director, Leopold Sipe, was the very first piece performed in 1959 at the orchestra’s inaugural concert, which took place in the auditorium of St. Paul’s Central High for an audience of 150 people. In this SPCO musician-led concert, we explore our history and harken to our broader 2025.26 season throughline of performing each of Bach’s four orchestral suites, giving these timeless Baroque masterpieces their own time to shine.
