Bach's Lunch 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 2011-2012 Bach’s Lunch Series is sponsored by: The Timothy and Abigail B. Walker Lecture Fund
