Baby Got Bach When asked to name their favorite composer, Philharmonic musicians invariably answer, “Bach.” “For me he’s up there pretty close to God.” —  Robert Botti, oboe “To me, his music inhabits a different sphere from all other composers.” — Marc Ginsberg, Principal, Second Violin Group “As Mahler said: ‘In Bach, all the seeds of music are found, as the world is contained in God.’” — Peter Kenote, viola “Mozart and Bach — elegant, simple, and just heavenly!” — Michelle Kim, Assistant Concertmaster Their big love will make for a passionate month this season when the Philharmonic presents The Bach Variations: A Philharmonic Festival.
