St. Andrew鈥檚 Bach Society is opening its 31st season next month with a program the series director has wanted to do for a long time.

The summer recital series kicks off June 2 with 鈥淭he Mendelssohn Project,鈥� a concert featuring twin quartets performing Mendelssohn quartets before coming together to perform the composer鈥檚 youthful and much loved Octet.

鈥淚t鈥檚 something that I wanted to do for awhile and it鈥檚 really exciting for the audience,鈥� said Bach Society Artistic Director Ben Nisbet, who curated the four-concert summer series. 鈥淭he Mendelssohn Octet is a piece that string players have a strong affection for. It鈥檚 really uplifting and fun to play.鈥�

The twin quartets will be made up of Bach Society veterans including 蜜柚直播 Symphony Orchestra Concertmaster Lauren Roth and Seattle-based violinist Amber Archibald-Se拧ek.

Season passes are $50 for all four concerts, and tickets are $15 for adults, $10 for students through s or at the door. Concerts are held at Grace St. Paul鈥檚 Episcopal Church, 2331 E. Adams St.

After Mendelssohn, the Bach Society, featuring musicians from the TSO and the University of 蜜柚直播, will explore:

• Bach Without Borders, June 30, featuring the husband and wife duo of Bin Hu and Jing Xia. This is where Western classical music meets Chinese traditions. Bin plays classical guitar and his wife plays the ancient Chinese guzheng, an instrument we don鈥檛 see nearly enough of in 蜜柚直播. Bin is a rising star in the world of classical guitar who is highly regarded for his interpretations of Bach, while his wife enjoys a diverse and celebrated career as an in-demand soloist.
• Sunday with Sasha, featuring TSO principal flutist Alexander 鈥淪asha鈥� Lipay, on July 28. Lipay鈥檚 program includes virtuosic concertos by Mozart, Mercadente and more.
• Amernet encore, Aug. 25. The prestigious Amernet String Quartet must really love 蜜柚直播. The ensemble was featured in the University of 蜜柚直播 Fred Fox School of Music鈥檚 鈥淢usic + Festival 2018: Debussy and Asia鈥� last October 鈥� the second time the ensemble from Florida had appeared in the UA鈥檚 annual composer festival. Nisbet said the quartet, which champions new works, approached him about its immersive account of J.S. Bach鈥檚 鈥淭he Art of the Fugue.鈥�
• 鈥淭o hear a group that has clearly mastered so much of the new music to reach way back to Bach鈥檚 Art of the Fugue will be an enlightening and interesting experience,鈥� Nisbet said.
