A musical family
Johan Sebastian Bach created some of the world’s best-known and loved music. As the father of 20 children, he also launched a small family musical dynasty, which the Sarasota Orchestra acknowledges in its “All in the Family” program. It features music by J.S. Bach, as well as pieces by his fifth child Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach, who was considered the most successful of his offspring, and Wilhelm Friedemann Bach, J.S. Bach’s second child and first son. The concert will be presented today through Sunday at Holley Hall in the Beatrice Friedman Symphony Center, 709 N. Tamiami Trail, Sarasota. It will be recorded live and then offered for home streaming March 18-23. For ticket information: 941-953-3434; sarasotaorchestra.org
