BOHEMIAN
& & C Carmen
The year 2025 marks many significant musical milestones (including our 30 th
anniversary!). Bizet’s Carmen is one of the most popular operas ever written.
This spurred our Music Director to search out other notable anniversaries,
and they’re fun! J.S. Bach was flourishing during his illustrious tenure in
Leipzig (1725), Smetana led us through the picturesque Czech countryside
with his Moldau (1875), and some of the most popular rock songs of all time
were released in 1975!
