The Score | “Bach Around the Clock” Rocks Toledo

From sunrise August 13 to sunrise August 14, it was Bach, Bach, and more Bach. Music of Johann Sebastian Bach, to be precise. Dubbed “Bach Around the Clock,” the event was described by Ohio’s Toledo Symphony Orchestra as the city’s first 24-hour marathon event and presented in partnership with the Toledo Museum of Art. Eighteen performances took place in eleven indoor and outdoor locations across the museum’s campus, and included the Mass in B minor in the museum’s Peristyle, as well as a Bach Breakfast, Coffee Cantata, and a BACHyard Barbecue. Nearly 400 all-day tickets were sold, with some free events, and an estimated 2,200 people attended throughout the day. Pictured (at left): a Toledo Symphony cellist performs the Cello Suite No. 1.
