Mountainside Baroque presents “Bach’s Coffeehouse,” an intimate, informal concert at Café Mark in downtown Cumberland on Sunday, November 8. This concert re-imagines Café Zimmermann, the famous 18th-century Leipzig establishment that hosted weekly concerts by such illustrious city residents as Johann Sebastian Bach and Georg Phillip Telemann. As the largest and best-known “Kaffeehaus” in Leipzig, Cafe Zimmermann became a social center for the middle classes and gentlemen and women of the city, in part by offering free entertainment. Further, musicians paid nothing for use of the venue. Thus, it was a showcase for Bach and Telemann, who frequently directed chamber music there.
