Bach in the Subway, 2017

By

On Saturday, 18 March, string students will gather once again to join in the worldwide “Bach in the Subway” celebration!    As in years past, we won’t play exactly *in* the subway, due to the MTR’s rules against musical instruments (especially cellos!).    We will return to last year’s location at Central Pier 9, which gives us a great opportunity to parade with Bach.

This year, in honour of St. Patrick’s Day, there will be a few Irish Reels added to our repertoire, in addition to pieces by Bach.

Please sign-up here:
