Gala Video 2: A Broad Range of Music

The July 3 gala concert was the high point of the Oregon Bach Festival’s 40th anniversary celebrations. A series of videos bridged the thirteen musical numbers and served to cover set changes. Each of the eight videos focused on an aspect of the OBF’s history or mission.

“A Broad Musical Perspective” considers the nature of the festival atmosphere, which allows for a wide range of musical styles to be incorporated. Included are guest artists such as conductor Maria Guinand.

The 40th anniversary videos were produced by Pushplay Productions, Eugene. Special thanks to Oregon Public Broadcasting and Alex Richanbach for his interview with Helmuth Rilling, filmed in Nashville in April 2010 and generously underwritten by Betsy and Mark Richanbach.
