J. S. Bach and His Family at Morning Prayers (1870)

Can you imagine the pressure of growing up in the BACH family?? Johann Sebastian Bach carried on a tradition that was nurtured by his father, uncles, cousins, and other ancestors. The musician also had several children who followed in his footsteps, and some achieved great success. You’ll hear music by various members of the Bach family on Sunday Baroque this Father’s Day weekend, starting at 7 a.m. on 91.1, 107.5, and our music stream.

Suzanne Bona is the host and executive producer of Sunday Baroque, a nationally syndicated weekly radio show of Baroque and early music which she originated on WSHU in 1987.
