An Afternoon at Zimmermann's Coffee House
Coffee was all the rage in early 18th century Europe, and coffee houses flourished in J.S. Bach's town of Leipzig. Bach directed a group of musicians every week at Zimmermann's Coffee House-in fact, the comical Coffee Cantata was written especially for performance at Zimmermann's.
Join us as we recreate an afternoon in 1730s Leipzig - sample fine coffees and delectable desserts, and enjoy a performance of Bach's Coffee Cantata and other works for harpsichord and voice. This is a benefit for the California Bach Society, and seating is limited.
