SEASON 1942-43

THE BACH CIRCLE OF NEW YORK
under the direction of YELLA PESSL, Harpsichordist

THE BACH CIRCLE OF NEW YORK, now in its sixth year, appeals to an ever increasing audience as one of the most sig-nificant and valuable organizations in the musical life of New York.

IT is the policy of the Bach Circle of New York to offer, in its winter program, the rarely heard works of Bach, his sons, con-temporaries, and predecessors.  These works are performed with-out transcription or "arrangement", and the original spirit and style of the music is preserved by performing it in the same medium, and with the same number of performers, as that for which the music was written.

THE two outstanding features of membership in The Bach Circle of New York are:

Town Hall Concerts
Two Monday Evenings at eight forty-five o'clock
JANUARY 18, 1943 . MARCH 1, 1943

THE programs will include, owing to numerous requests, J. S. Bach's "Musical Offering" in the chamber music version by Dr. H. T. David, Bach's harpsichord concerto in D minor and Suites of dances by Handel, Couperin and Bach.  Also the first performances of "Il Ritratto dell'Amore," Concerto No. 14. from "Les Goûts réunis", a complete "Ordre" by François Couperin le Grand, and vocal duets from "Orpheus Brittanicus" by Henry Purcell.

Members' Evenings

Three intimate evenings of informal chamber music, to be held at the Alexandria Ball Room of the Metropolitan Museum of Art on November 23, 1942 and February 8, 1943, and at a private residence to be announced.
