Around Amherst: Bach Festival resounded downtown
By SCOTT MERZBACH
Live, in-person music returned to downtown Amherst for the first time since the COVID-19 pandemic began more than a year ago.
On Saturday and Sunday, Bach in Amherst featured outdoor pop-up performances of the music of Johann Sebastian Bach as part of the 2021 University of Massachusetts Bach Festival and Symposium.
Performances will be Saturday from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. on the Town Common, and
Ann Tweedy, marketing director for the Amherst Business Improvement District, said the performances follow from the Bach in the Subways held indoors in 2015 at Amherst Books and Black Sheep Deli.
