CONCORA & Baroklyn, featuring Simone Dinnerstein

BACHtoberfest 2025
Tickets go on sale June 23, 2025

Fresh off the release of their first professional recording, Simone Dinnerstein’s chamber ensemble Baroklyn joins Connecticut-based professional choir CONCORA in a program of two cantatas, Es ist das Heil uns kommen her (BWV9), and Himmelskönig, sei willkommen (BWV182). 

Dinnerstein leads from the keyboard providing a rare opportunity to hear the piano as a continuo instrument, just as Mendelssohn did in his own performances of Bach’s choral works. The evening features Dinnerstein’s performance of Bach’s Concerto in E Major (BWV1053) with Baroklyn, as well as a number of arrangements of chorale-preludes included in their debut recording.

Music Worcester presents: BACHtoberfest: Peter Krasinski, organ

 

Peter Krasinski performs an afternoon of Bach’s organ works for the second annual BACHtoberfest weekend. The afternoon highlights Bach’s secular and sacred organ works, and continues THE COMPLETE BACH’s annual tradition of recitals for organ. Featuring the Mechanics Hall’s Hook Organ, an institution in Worcester for more than 160 years, this performance allows the listener to experience the robust sound and feeling of a pipe organ. 

In 1863, Elias and George Hook began the installation of the custom-built instrument, fit perfectly for the Great Hall. The Hook Organ is made up of 3,504 pipes and 52 stops. Listeners flock to hear this organ played, both for its history and for its intensity and story. Hear the Great Hall fill with sound at this afternoon organ recital.

Phil Vassar Acoustic Duo

 

 Over 25 years, Vassar has racked up chart-topping hits and numerous accolades, including performances in Europe, Australia, and the White House, as well as memorable moments with country legends like Merle Haggard and Willie Nelson. But it’s the connection he builds with fans through live performances that remains the heart of his career. “When I go on stage, the world fades away, and it’s just about having fun and connecting with the fans,” he shares.

A life-altering heart attack in 2023 that nearly claimed his life reshaped Vassar’s outlook. “You can’t outrun your genetics, but you can take care of yourself,” he reflects. His recovery has prompted a shift toward a calmer, more grateful life. “I’m way calmer now than I used to be. I’ve learned to enjoy the moment,” he says, now embracing life with renewed perspective.

 
With a career built on resilience and an unwavering commitment to storytelling, Phil Vassar continues to inspire both fans and peers, proving that great songs endure across generations.
