Talk: The Art of Chartres

2 PM Friday, June 20 [ free ]
Internationally known organist Lynne Davis will take attendees on a virtual tour of France's Chartres Cathedral, describing the structure's awe-inspiring artwork, particularly its magnificent stained glass windows. Having spent the majority of her professional life studying and teaching in and around Paris, Davis knows the building and its artistic gems well. Those interested in learning more about local stained-glass standouts should plan to stay for the guided tour following this talk.
The Saint Paul Chamber Orchestra's internationally known harpsichordist Skip James returns to the festival to present a magnificent program of Bach favorites along with two of his friends and SPCO colleagues, violinist Daria Adams and flautist Julia Bogorad-Kogan, who will join him for two duets. For the finale, James will perform Bach's notoriously challenging Goldberg Variations on the harpsichord, giving listeners the rare chance to hear them played live and on the instrument for which they were originally written.
