Voices of Music is thrilled to announce the results of the 2012 Bach Competition.
The winners are:
Natalie Carducci, baroque violin; Michael Kaufman, baroque cello;
Adaiha Macadam-Somer, baroque cello and Jan Van Hoecke, recorder.
The 2012 competition drew contestants from the United States and Europe, and the level of the players was the best we have seen so far in the history of the competition. We would like to congratulate each and every one of the participants for their outstanding musicianship.
The winners will perform in a free, all-Bach concert Saturday, February 4, 2012 8 pm, at St. Mark’s Lutheran Church 1111 O’Farrell St. San Francisco.
A wine and cheese reception will follow the concert to which everyone is invited.
