The concert is free and open to the public.<\/p>\n<p>On Friday\u2019s (apr 5, 2013) Wayne Byers Show, on CSi 2, Jamestown College Music Department Chairman, Richard Walentine said, PDQ Bach, the brainchild and alter ego of composer Peter Schickele, has been regarded as a forgotten son of the Bach family known for his parodies of classical music and slapstick comedy. He has been called a &#8220;pimple on the face of music,&#8221; &#8220;the worst musician ever to have trod organ pedals,&#8221; &#8220;the most dangerous musician since Nero,&#8221; and other things not quite so complimentary.<\/p>\n<p>Walentine added, &#8220;Our own (Jamestown College President) Bob Badal has unfortunately done extensive \u2018research\u2019 into this musical madness and will bring out some of the more ghastly skeletons in PDQ Bach\u2019s closet. The audience can expect to have its ears, and hopefully its funnybone, tickled by sounds they would never otherwise call music.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Performers include the Jamestown College Concert Choir, Chapel Choir and Wind Ensemble; the Death Panel Quartet; Dr. William Wojnar and David Morlock on the Black-Schlossman Memorial Organ; Dr. Timothy Bratton and Justine Pringle on viola; Robert Heinzen, tenor; Nathan Kopperud, tenor; Leanne Villareal, soprano; Dr. Richard Walentine, baritone and piano; and Benjamin Schneider on devious instruments.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>He added the festival will run about an hour and a half.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Jamestown, ND (KCSi-T.V.
