In 1705, the 20 year-old JS Bach walked 400 km north, away from a messy work situation and toward musical enlightenment and, quite possibly, love.
King’s Theatre welcomes TOM ALLEN & FRIENDS back to our stage for ‘JS Bach’s Long Walk in the Snow’, a narrated performance accompanied by music. About the show, CBC Radio host Tom Allen writes that it “…is a coming-of-age-story about a hot-headed, small-town orphan who narrowly avoided committing murder, turned his back on a perfectly good job and walked 400 kilometres north to find love, fulfillment, and the father figure he didn’t know he needed.” The 20 year-old’s trek to the sophisticated port city of Lubeck was a four-month odyssey, a memorable coming-of-age trip that musical storyteller Tom Allen takes you along for a tale of sword fights, big business, and a glittering Christmas romance.
Enjoy the journey with the brilliant musicianship of harpist Lori Gemmell, violinist Karen Graves, pianist Andy Creggan, and virtuoso vocalist Melody Dobson.
Program to include:
Johann Sebastian Bach (1685-1750)
/Paraphrased by: Sergei Rachmaninoff (1873-1943)
Partita No. 3 in E major for solo violin | BWV 1006: Gavotte (arr. Lori Gemmell)

“Narrated by the inimitable CBC personality Tom Allen, a pivotal episode in the early life of well-known composer JS Bach was explored through fact and imagination… Allen likened historical references to stars in the sky – pinpoints which we can connect with lines creating what happened, what might have happened – or even what ought to have happened! Each of the musician’s innate musicianship, indisputable skill and obvious love of their craft combined to create subtle artistry and sheer magic… A singular pleasure from beginning to end.” – Valley Concert Society (BC) – November 2023
