Join Harvard Professors Christoph Wolff and Alexander Rehding for an illustrated talk about the relationships of J.S. Bach, Mendelssohn, and Schumann to the first (1781) and second (1884) Gewandhaus concert halls, and to the Gewandhausorchester Leipzig. Special attention will be paid to the works on the BSO's "Leipzig Week" program, and the Gewandhaus-Quartett will perform the first movement of Mendelssohn's String Quartet in F minor, Op. 80.
