Berkshire Bach Society Presents Renée Anne Louprette in Organ Recital
 |
HOUSATONIC, Mass. — The Berkshire Bach Society is set to present the first event in its Organ Masters series with a recital by Renée Anne Louprette on Saturday, Feb. 8, 2025, at 2:00 PM.
The recital will take place at the historic UU Meeting House in Housatonic, showcasing the 1893 Johnson Organ.
Louprette's program, titled Best of Bach—The Great Organ Works, will feature some of Bach's most iconic organ pieces, including the renowned Toccata in D minor, BWV 565 and several transcriptions from his cantatas, such as Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring, Sheep May Safely Graze, and Sleepers Awake. The performance will offer a fresh perspective on these well-loved works, played on the sweet-voiced Johnson Organ.
Louprette, an accomplished organist and Assistant Professor of Music at Bard College, has performed globally and received a Fulbright research grant to document historic organ restorations in Romania. She will be joined by Bach scholar George B. Stauffer, who will provide commentary on Bach's life and musical legacy.
Tickets for the event are $45 for nonmembers, $40 for Berkshire Bach members, and $10 with a Card to Culture. Children and students with valid ID are admitted for free. For more information, visit www.berkshirebach.org/events.
