Resonance @ First Church: Bach Transcriptions featuring Derek Tam, harpsichord
Explore the Baroque through a program of Johann Sebastian Bach's keyboard transcriptions with First Church's Director of Music, harpsichordist Derek Tam.
A voracious student of national styles of the day, Bach frequently transcribed works of other composers. This program will include transcriptions and paraphrases of music by Jean-Baptiste Lully, Johann Adam Reincken and Antonio Vivaldi. Also included are Jan Pieterszoon Sweelinck's "Fantasia cromatica," Bach's masterful "Chromatic Fantasia and Fugue" as well as his ever-popular "'Capriccio on the Departure of his Most Beloved Brother".

In addition to serving as Artistic Director of the Star Valley Children's Choir (SVCC), he is Director of Music at First Congregational Church of Berkeley, one of the major performance venues for classical music in the East Bay.
