We are happy to announce that our CD of the music of J.S. Bach is now available for purchase online.  This is the same CD that we were offering at our November concert in Newton Centre.  It includes two sonatas for oboe and keyboard, in C major (transcribed from the flute sonata) and G minor (which exists as a flute sonata in B minor), and a solo keyboard partita in C minor (which was performed on the Newton concert as well as our Bedford concert in June).  All the proceeds from the sale of the CDs will go to the Dana Farber Cancer Institute.
