David Bach Consort has been featured on national and international television on BET’s Jazz Central. The band was voted “Best Instrumental Band” by Music Monthly Magazine in 1999, 2000 and 2001. Bach has played with Enrique Iglesias, at the National Cathedral, the White House Correspondents Dinner and at USA Today’s annual holiday event. David Bach Consort recently won the Jazz Discovery Showcase on Black Entertainment Television, performed at Jazzmatazz with B.B. King and played at the Rosslyn Jazz Festival.

This evening Carillon performance will be given by LVISTANUS, a carillon duet from Portugal, Ana and Sara Elias.
Portuguese sisters and carillonneurs Ana and Sara Elias shared the title of carillonneur at the new carillon “Carrilhao dos Pastorinhos” in Alverca, Portugal, between 2005 and 2006. Together and separately, the sisters have played numerous carillon recitals in their native Portugal, as well as in other European countries. Both are invited regularly to perform or give lectures for international carillon congresses and festivals.
