Bach's Lunch Program Series

Much more than Bach, the series explores a range of musical topics and genres in informal, free, lunch-hour lectures and concerts the first and second Thursdays of each month, November - June.

Both lectures and concerts are in the Recital Hall, 23 Wall Street, downtown Concord, and begin at 12:10 and conclude by 12:50 p.m. Bring your lunch - and your friends!

The 2009-2010 Bach’s Lunch Series was sponsored by: The Duprey Companies; The Timothy and Abigail B. Walker Lecture Fund; and the Benjamin Couch Trust, TD Bank, N.A., Trustee.

CHECK BACK for our 2010-11 Series!
