The “Bach” celebration will feature Scott Horton, Music Director and Organist at the First Congregational Church.

Among the compositions performed at this year’s Bachtober Concert will be the Concerto in A Minor, after Vivaldi, Prelude and Fugue in A Minor, and the famous Toccata and Fugue in D minor.
