Bob Bernhardt will conduct the CSO in two concerts.The Chattanooga Symphony & Opera’s chamber music performance, “Bach to Mozart,” is subtitled “Family Ties,” but conductor Robert Bernhardt said it could also be called “Fathers and Sons.”
The CSO will perform the program twice, first at the Sheraton Read House on Sunday as part of its Chamber Series and again Monday in Cleveland, Tenn., as part of Lee University’s Presidential Concert Series.
The performance will feature works by two Bachs and two Mozarts.
“There are two direct relationships and one indirect one,” said Bernhardt.
First up will be the Brandenburg Concerto No. 1 by Johann Sebastian Bach, followed by Sinfonia in D Major by his youngest son, Johann Christian Bach. The second set will feature Symphony in B Flat by Leopold Mozart and will close with Symphony No. 29 by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, son of Leopold.
