Revel in the rich sonorities of two harpsichords in lively conversation, showcasing the wit and virtuosity of J.S. Bach and his son C.P.E. Bach. Anchored by Lully’s stately Passacaille, the program unfolds with Telemann’s vibrant Ouverture Suite, playfully bridging Baroque complexity and early Classical elegance.

The centerpiece: two sparkling harpsichord concertos—C.P.E.’s bold and unpredictable Concerto in F Major and J.S. Bach’s dramatic Concerto in C Minor. A rare performance of dueling keyboards bursting with energy, contrast, and sheer musical brilliance.

The fall mainstage show is THE SKRIKER by Caryl Churchill, a genre-defying play that asks how we can be "good" in a cruel, chaotic, and ever-changing world. It is 1990's England.

Performances are November 14, 15, 20, 21, and 22 at 7:30 p.m. in the PAB Diver Studio Theatre on the 1st floor.

Open to the public. Tickets required. Ticket link: https://www.ticketleap.events/tickets/reed-8/the-skriker #
