Unsurprisingly, Bach Soc kicked off their 2006-7 season with Bach’s Suite for Orchestra No. 1. With a program that also included Samuel Barber??s Adagio for Strings and Felix Mendelssohn’s Symphony No. 3 (“Scottish”), the orchestra demonstrated their facility with a range of musical styles. Music Director Aram V. Demirjian ’08 proved himself to be an excellent conductor, beyond...
