New Bach just dropped
This November, Plymouth Congregational Church will host a performance of a rediscovered Bach work.
A newly rediscovered work by J.S. Bach is among the highlights of a free concert by Grammy-nominated organist Jan Kraybill at Plymouth Congregational Church on Saturday, November 14.
The Chaconne in G minor, BWV 1179, was rediscovered 30 years ago, but the scholars who guard Bach's byline (and assign the BWV numbers) decided only last year that it could be securely attributed to him.
Kraybill's wide-ranging program also includes music by Handel, by French organ virtuoso Alexandre Guilmant, and by contemporary American composers Libby Larsen and inti figgis-vizueta.
A Kansas native, Kraybill is the Kansas City Symphony's go-to organ soloist. Since 2011, when the symphony relocated to Helzberg Hall, she has been “conservator” of the hall's impressive and striking concert organ. Her Wichita program, titled “Mileposts” celebrates the anniversary of Plymouth's Schantz organ, installed 25 years ago.
The free concert begins at 7 p.m. at Plymouth Congregational Church, 202 N. Clifton Ave. — Sam Jack
