Festival 2010
The Boulder Bach Festival celebrated J.S. Bach’s 325th birthday with an expanded 2009/2010 season of concerts, recitals, and lectures that paid homage to the genius of the Baroque era and his works for keyboard, instruments, and voice.
This year’s festival was rich with offerings that feature some of Bach’s most famous works along with lesser known gems that define the breadth and depth of his artistry. We were thrilled to welcome back internationally renowned harpsichordist, Jory Vinikour, who wowed last year’s audiences, for a solo recital in November. Master violinist, Krista Bennion Feeney, who left last year’s audiences breathless, returned to our festival in March as concertmaster and soloist.
To complete the complement of outstanding guest artists, the Boulder Bach Festival welcomed former principal oboist of the New York Philharmonic Orchestra, Joseph Robinson, and organist Andrew Henderson from the Madison Avenue Presbyterian Church in New York City. Vocal soloists were soprano MeeAe Nam, professor of voice at Eastern Michigan University, and renowned bass-baritone Nikolas Nackley.
The Festival was proud to have Tim Krueger’s musical expertise in preparing and conducting the festival chorus again this year. Timothy J. Krueger, now in his third season, is the chorus director for the Boulder Bach Festival and artistic director of St. Martin’s Chamber Choir in Denver.
