Manaus (AM) – The Amazonas Barroque Orchestra (OBA) presents, this Saturday (11), the fifth concert of the Music at the Palace series, promoted by the State Secretariat for Culture and Creative Economy in partnership with the State University of Amazonas (UEA), through of the Postgraduate Program in Letters and Arts (PPGLA). It will be at 7pm, at the Palácio Rio Negro Cultural Center, located at Avenida 7 de Setembro, 1.546, Centro.

The concert will be entirely dedicated to the work of Johann Sebastian Bach (1685-1750). The German composer is one of the icons of the Baroque period. His music is appreciated both for its expressive beauty and technical complexity.
