6:45pm Pre-Concert Event

Good Shepherd-Faith Presbyterian Church
152 W 66th St
New York, NY, 10023

Note: Good Shepherd-Faith Presbyterian Church is not wheelchair accessible. There are twenty steps up to the sanctuary with a hand-railing, and a landing partway up.

Our grand season finale juxtaposes the Italian virtuosity of Bach’s Brandenburg concerti with the French elegance of his Orchestral Suites—back to back. Rarely performed together, these magnificent works reveal two sides of Bach’s musical personality and feature an exceptional variety of instrumental colors: seductive flute, playful oboes and bassoon, majestic hunting horns, exhilarating harpsichord, and even the brilliant violino piccolo, played by our own in-house specialist, founding director Daniel S. Lee.

Special Pre-Concert Event: At 6:45pm, Sebastians founding director Daniel S. Lee will offer a demonstration of the violino piccolo.

Reception to follow. Join the musicians of the Sebastians in raising a glass to a successful season!
