Summary

Bach on Beaver was a July 2002 local classical-music performance on Beaver Island and the documented immediate predecessor of Baroque on Beaver. The only held account, published the following June, describes it as a “home grown” effort with an overflow audience and says that its reception led to plans for the 2003 chamber-orchestra and choral concert.1

Evidence limits

The notice does not give a day, venue, complete program, producer, performer list, ticketing record, or an independently counted audience. It establishes a predecessor event, not a complete inaugural-season history.

Open questions

  • Did a program, poster, photograph, or contemporary review survive for the 2002 performance?
  • Which people organized and performed in it, and what was Charles Krutz’s precise role beyond the next year’s announcement?
