⏱ Bach to the Future: A Musical Journey Through Time

⏱ Bach to the Future: A Musical Journey Through Time

A Musical Journey Through Time from Classical Roots to Rock Revolution!

Embark on a riveting musical odyssey with Holy Names Music Center's latest concert fundraiser, "⏱ Bach to the Future: A Musical Journey Through Time."

This unique event, scheduled for April 27th at 7:00 PM, promises an unforgettable blend of cinematic nostalgia and classical elegance, all while supporting a noble cause.

Embark on a journey into 1982 with our protagonists, the co-executive directors Dr. Archie Chen and Rhona Gouldson-Chen, who's mission becomes as critical as preserving their musical dreams. They embark on an extraordinary adventure, utilizing a time-altering grand piano equipped with a flux capacitor, reminiscent of the iconic DeLorean. Transported back to the days of Johann Sebastian Bach, their quest transcends mere musical exploration; they aim to alter the past to secure a future for the Holy Names Music Center. Will their efforts ensure the center's survival? The answer awaits at the concert!

Our heroes journey through time, encountering masterpieces that transcend ages, such as Beethoven's Gassenhauer Trio, Mozart's Piano Quartet, and Debussy's enchanting Epigraphes antiques. The narrative will be enriched with a diverse musical tapestry, featuring everything from soprano opera solos to the rhythmic "Night Train" and the energetic "Johnny Be Good," each seamlessly integrating into the story and reflecting the adventures and epochs traversed.

Imagine stepping into McNally Recital Hall, transformed into a scene straight out of a timeless film, complete with a 1797 Broadwood piano and its modern counterpart sharing the stage. The ambiance is further enriched with a majestic clock reminiscent of the one from "Back to the Future," along with other iconic relics from the movie, setting the stage for chamber and solo performances. Adding to this immersive experience, there will be a real DeLorean on display, courtesy of the Pacific Northwest DeLorean Club. This iconic vehicle will be parked at the center, offering everyone a unique opportunity to take photos with and admire up close. This setting promises to be as visually captivating as it is audibly enchanting, merging historical elegance with cinematic nostalgia.

Don't miss this mesmerizing evening where the magic of "Bach to the Future" merges with the splendor of classical music to rock revolution. With tickets beginning at $25, you're welcomed to experience a spectacle where each note is a journey through time, nurturing a timeless passion for music and fostering an everlasting love for the art.

Reserve your spot in this extraordinary journey through time, experience the synergy of history and melody, and support the Holy Names Music Center in its mission to nurture musical talents and appreciation.
