OLLI Members & Friends event, hosted in partnership with Classical Uprising. The lead called this 'The Story Behind the Music: Bach's Christmas Oratorio'; OLLI's own page titles it 'Bach's Christmas Oratorio, Decoded' — a free, informal talk on the backstory (politics, personalities, musical choices) behind Bach's six Christmas cantatas, ahead of Classical Uprising's Christmas Oratorio concerts November 7 in Brunswick and November 15 in Portland. Participation includes a concert discount code. Open to non-members. To register, call the OLLI Office at (207) 780-4406. Room 133.
