A Chamber Musical narrated by CBC’s Tom Allen Co-Presented with Ammolite Opera

Johann Sebastian Bach is usually seen as the wise, old man of Western Music, but he didn’t begin his working life that way. At 18, and in his first job as an organist, still barely beginning life as a composer but already a spectacular performer, the young man got into such trouble that the only thing he could do was to walk away. JS Bach’s Long Walk in the Snow takes you along on that trip: a 400 km odyssey to a glittering northern port city with street fights, big business, insight, fulfillment, the father figure he didn’t know he needed and, quite possibly, love. With glorious music - both familiar and gripping - featuring harpist Lori Gemmel, CBC’s Tom Allen as narrator, Maria Fuller on piano. Laura Veeze on violin, and soprano Dawn Bailey. JS Bach’s Long Walk in the Snow brings that troubled young man in from the cold.
