A favorite student of Johann Sebastian Bach’s son, Wilhelm Friedemann as well as Felix and Fanny Mendelssohn’s great aunt, Sara Levy is at the center of Berlin’s musical life at the turn of the 19th century. The program includes selections from the Bach family including Art of Fugue paired with a fugue by young Bozeman composer Athena Carson, a French battle piece about the Napoleonic Wars written during his occupation of Berlin, and Felix Mendelssohn’s Op. 80 String Quartet written in remembrance of his sister Fanny.
