Give BACH - “Opera from Purcell to Puccini” - Katherine Buzard, soprano

Join us on our Facebook page for the first in our “Give BACH” series: “Opera from Purcell to Puccini” featuring Katherine Buzard, soprano. Performing from her home, Katherine is sure to fill your evening with beauty featuring arias by Purcell, Handel, Mozart, Massenet, Bizet, Puccini and more. An accomplished pianist in her own right, she will be accompanying herself through pre-recorded tracks; for a few selections, she will be joined by pianist Mike McAndrew.

About Give BACH, With public health concerns from COVID-19, and the reality that singing is a “super-spreader,” there is no way for BACH to present in-person concerts this fall. In the meantime, we are excited to announce “Give BACH,” our way to offer live music to the community this fall. Our “Give BACH” virtual series consists of four of BACH’s artist-friends performing from their homes or neighborhood churches, featuring music from the Baroque period and beyond.

Our Give BACH series are free, though BACH would appreciate a suggested donation of $10.
