The biannual Bach Lunch concert series will be bookended this fall by old and new Cajun bands, with a hearty helping of good, ole American music in between.
The biannual Bach Lunch concert series, which commences on Friday, Oct. 4 in Parc Sans Souci downtown, will be bookended this fall by old and new Cajun bands, with a hearty helping of American roots music in between. The series is a fundraiser for the Lafayette Science Museum Foundation and features one-hour performances by local bands along with the sale of boxed (get it? Bach?) lunches provided by area restaurants. Food is sold beginning at 11:15 a.m. on first-come, first-served basis, with proceeds helping the science museum. The music begins at noon.
