Distinguished musicians will perform the music of Baroque composer Johann Sebastian Bach on Thursday, February 22, 2018 from 6:30-8:30pm at the Heurich House Museum. Andrew Fouts (violin) and Leon Chelhase (harpiscord) will play Selections from The Well-Tempered Clavier, Partita No. 2 in D minor for Violin Solo, BMV 1004, and Violin Sonata No. 6 in G, BMV 1019, in the historic Conservatory. The concert is the museum’s first partnership with the esteemed The Washington Bach Consort.
Bach’s Sonatas and Partitas for Unaccompanied Violin opened up new possibilities of technique and expression for the instrument. The second partita is renowned for its last movement – the famous D minor Ciaccona, a piece of extraordinary scope and complexity often ranked among the composer’s greatest achievements. The 48 preludes and fugues that comprise the two volumes of The Well-Tempered Clavier bring together virtuosity and technical rigor in a fashion rarely seen before or since. The elegant Sonata in G Major for violin and harpsichord rounds out this instrumental showcase.
The Heurich House Museum is the historic, family home of German immigrant and brewer, Christian Heurich. Christian and Amelia Heurich were avid music lovers, supporting musical organizations and attending performances in Washington, DC, Germany, and Italy. The museum’s partnership with The Washington Bach Consort is an opportunity to experience German musical artistry in a home surrounded by baroque- and renaissance-revival craftsmanship and continue the legacy of Christian and Amelia.
Advanced purchase tickets are available online and include self-guided tours of the first floor of the museum. Admission is $35 for seated tickets and $15 for standing room tickets. Doors open at 6:30pm and the performance begins at 7pm. Drinks, including DC Brau’s Heurich’s Lager, will be available for purchase.

Night Market and Three-Course Chinese New Year Dinner
For guests interested in a sit-down dinner to celebrate Chinese New Year, Chef Smith has created a three-course menu that begins with a Whole Steamed Bronzino, representing family togetherness, made with aged soy, fermented black bean, and chili oil. The second course, representative of the five blessings of the New Year including longevity, riches, peace, wisdom, and virtue, is Whole Soy Lacquered Quail with mustard greens and long wheat noodles. The final course features Chocolate Mochi Cake with tangerine marmalade, which was chosen because the pronunciation of the word “tangerine” sounds much like the pronunciation of the word “money” in Mandarin. Before dinner, guests will have the opportunity to indulge in four live-action stations featuring Whole Roasted Lamb with Steamed Bao Buns, Chinese New Year Chicken Potage, Kanpachi Yu Sheng Sashimi, and Chinese New Year Pork Dumplings. The menu is priced at $85 per person with an additional $35 per guest for an optional wine pairing. The event begins at 6:30 p.m. and will be held in the Source’s upstairs dining room. Reservations can be made by phone at 202-637-6100.
