It of a one kind type of concert, but attendees might need a jacket. Tomorrow evening the Pine Mountain Music Festival will hold the Bach in the Mine concert, with a reception held afterward.
The concert will also act as a fundraiser for the Pine Mountain Music Festival, to support the festival’s ability to bring further enriching music, artists, and events to the communities of the upper peninsula. Executive Director Libby Meyer says that the environment of the mine will play into Bach’s composure of music.
“And the closest I can compare it to is if you were in like a humongous European cathedral. It’s a very lively space. And actually, a lot of Bach’s music was written for this kind of space. And so that’s why it works so well in there. You have a lot of reverberation and the sound is just echoing and bouncing off the walls.” – Libby Meyer, Executive Director, Pine Mountain Music Festival
Although the temperature may give a slight challenge to renowned cellist Adam Hall.
“It is a little bit of a challenge for the performer because their fingers do get kind of cold. And the instrument gets cold. It’s not below freezing, but probably around 50 degrees. And if Saturday is a sunny day it could be a little warmer down in the mine.” – Libby Meyer, Executive Director, Pine Mountain Music Festival
Tickets for the Bach in the Mine Fundraising concert with the Pine Mountain Music Festival cost 100 dollars, and seating is limited to 50 individuals.
