THE FOURTH ANNUAL BACH LECTURES
JUNE 29-30, 2022 • WEST MONROE, LA • 7:00-9:00pm
OVERVIEW & INVITATION
Considered by many to be the greatest composer and church musician to ever live, Johann Sebastian Bach's legacy leaves encouragement and insight for how we too might glorify God in our music-making. The Bach Lecture series is aimed at educating, encouraging and delighting both the musician and the curious listener. This year we will feature lectures by John Mason Hodges and Ken Myers. There will be performances of Bach's music and times of fellowship together. If you are eager to grow in your understanding of music in the life and worship of the church, join us as we examine this topic in relation to the testimony and works of J.S. Bach.

"The aim and final end of all music should be none other than the glory of God and the refreshment of the soul."

"I play the notes as they are written, but it is God who makes the music."

"I have always kept one end in view, namely ... to conduct a well-regulated church music to the honour of God."
