Bach composed nearly all of his instrumental concertos for the lavish court of Cöthen—where he spent the happiest years of his life—or for the public concerts produced by Leipzig's Collegium Musicum. ABS Young Artist Competition winner Andrew Fouts joins a dynamic lineup of soloists for this program of concertos for multiple instruments, including Bach's famous Brandenburg Concerto No. 3, a triple-triple romp for 9 soloists!
