P.D.Q. Bach Strikes Back with Professor Peter Schickele and the New York Pickup Ensemble. For almost forty years, Peter Schickele has been the scholarly prankster hiding behind the beard of Professor P.D.Q. Bach, the "21st" of Bach's 20 children, keeping music lovers in stitches with P.D.Q. classics like Shepherd on the Rocks with a Twist, Concerto for Horn and Hardart, Chaconne à Son Goût, and the recently discovered Four Next-to-Last Songs. For his NJPAC debut, Schickele brings his exploration of the life and consummately inept music of P.D.Q. Bach, joined by the New York Pickup Ensemble and guest artists. The New York Times put it best: "As a musical humorist, Mr. Schickele is without peer and irreplaceable." Tickets: $54.00 - $10.00
