Father Sean Duggan will be the featured performer at the event, which starts at 7 pm on April 4 and runs non-stop through midnight on April 5. For 29 hours, hundreds of performers will play music of all kinds, and there will also be dancing, yoga, and poetry readings.

Returning to the Bach Around the Clock event after more than a decade, Fr. Duggan will play the complete two and three part Inventions and two Fantaisies and Fugues, a performance that is expected to last one hour and 30 minutes.

At 11 p.m. on Saturday, April 5, the Saint-Saens Organ Symphony will be performed by the Loyola Orchestra conducted by Jean Montes with Albinas Prizgintas as the organist.

Prizgintas will close with Bach’s Toccata in D as the clock winds down on this year’s Bach marathon.
