The finale concert of the 1st BACH IN THE SUBWAYS in Los Angeles. The venue was the beautifully lit Grand Park with the gorgeous backdrop of LA's City Hall located at the Civic Center/ Grand Park Metro Stop. And how often do you get to hear/see a program that includes movements from the Brandenburg Concerto and Bach Cello Suites?
