WinterFest closes at the source: the music of Johann Sebastian Bach. In this all-Bach organ recital, Ian Watson brings listeners into one of the most powerful sound worlds ever created, where dazzling counterpoint, spiritual depth, and architectural grandeur meet in a single instrument. Watson is a musician of extraordinary breadth: an acclaimed conductor, period-instrument specialist, virtuoso harpsichordist, organist, and pianist. Associate Conductor of Boston’s Handel and Haydn Society, he has appeared with many of the world’s leading orchestras and early-music ensembles.
