The Berkshire Bach Society

Dear Members and Friends,

The Berkshire Bach Society takes enormous pleasure in welcoming you to our 2008-2009 Season. As you know, we make extraordinary efforts to bring you the most superlative artists playing the most incredible music. True to form, style, and the sheer pleasure of it, we have scheduled a festive array of works featuring some internationally acclaimed violin soloists, including Eugene Drucker at PS 21 Chatham in September and again for Bach at New Year's, when Boston Symphony Orchestra violinist Joseph Silverstein will also perform.

When you join us - and we always welcome your membership and support - this treasure-chest is yours. Together, we learn to appreciate what Vivaldi calls "the greater wonders" of life - our capacity for joy, sadness and other states of mind, our perceptivity of character, our understanding of relationships, our freedom of thought, our delight in logic and design, and our emotional abandon. We come to Bach, Handel and other masters for these qualities, and it continues to be the aim of the Berkshire Bach Society to keep them alive.

Welcome to another spectacular Berkshire Bach Season.

Kenneth Cooper
President and Artistic Director
