Summary

Charles Krutz is a recurring early Baroque on Beaver figure. A 2003 account says he portrayed Bach at the 2002 predecessor and would direct the following year’s musicians; 2004 and 2005 notices advertise him as an instrumental or featured soloist.123

Names and limits

The 2005 item shortens his name to “Chas Krutz.” The close temporal and program context supports treating the forms as one person, but the sources remain advance notices and do not constitute a full biography or final performance record.

Open questions

  • What was the complete 2002 Bach portrayal and what instruments did Krutz play?
  • Can a Concordia source verify the exact institutional title and distinguish it from a newspaper description?
