About the Concert
The Royal Canadian College of Organists, Winnipeg Centre’s Bach Marathon was a Festival favourite last year, and this year’s show is sure to be another community celebration of the most beloved musical figure of the age. J.S. Bach himself and his wife return to host the festivities on all manner of instruments from organ to violin to dance!
About the RCCO
The Royal Canadian College of Organists was founded in 1909 in Brantford, ON, and within a couple of years had members from coast to coast. It is Canada’s oldest musicians’ association. The Winnipeg Centre of the RCCO provides a wide variety of programmes including organ recitals, organ and choral events, professional development workshops, a local newsletter, scholarships for pianists who wish to learn to play the organ, and social activities. The mentorship and education of youth, and the emotional and professional support of members are high on the priority list for the Winnipeg Centre.
