Happy Birthday Pittsboro Bach Society!

Today we celebrated the 3rd anniversary of the Pittsboro Bach Society with a wonderful concert at the home of Tom and Lynn Egan in Chapel Hill. The ensemble is the creation of Ted Ehrhard, a violinist, piano technician, and fellow St. Thomas More parishoner. The mission of the Pittsboro Bach Society is to participate in the joy of social music-making through a series of bimonthly chamber and orchestral music concerts.

Today's music menu featured W.A. Mozart's Rondo Alla Turca, J.S. Bach's Clavier Concerto in f minor, and G.F. Handel's Concerto Grosso in F major (Op. 6, No. 9). We were a decent-sized ensemble today; 6 violins, 3 violas, 2 cellos, 1 bass, and piano. I played 2nd violin. I think my favorite piece was the Handel; you just can't help feeling happy when you play a piece by Handel.
