Multi-Dimensional BACH - Solo Recital
Saturday, Nov. 22 at 7:30pm
St. Thomas Church, 2201 Dexter St., Denver
Experience the masterful counterpoint of Bach interpreted by a fresh new voice in Baroque performance. BCOC welcomes Lillian Gordis for an extraordinary evening of solo harpsichord virtuosity, with selections from Bach's Well Tempered Clavier and the monumental Partita 6 in E minor. Acclaimed across Europe and the US for her “innovative and audacious playing,” Gordis was recently named the Eaton Chair of Baroque Music at the University of Colorado College of Music. (Plan to stay for a post-concert chat with Lillian, guided by BCOC Artistic Director Frank Nowell.)
Not included in Masterworks Series.
A Celtic Christmas —MASTERWORKS SERIES
December 12-14, 2025
A sparkling winter tour of seasonal music from the Celtic diaspora, including English songs, Irish tunes, French Noels, and American hymns. We invite the audience to join in singing familiar carols and to discover lesser-known gems from centuries of inspired repertoire. Musicians from BCOC and Chivalrous Crickets collaborate on strings, lutes, banjos, guitars, bagpipes, Irish harps, whistles, concertina, vocals, and keyboard.
Bach and Mozart —MASTERWORKS SERIES

The Chase / Acteon —MASTERWORKS SERIES

Musical Bridges —MASTERWORKS SERIES

Celebrate the power of music to inspire and connect across time and space!
