Peter Schickele: 50 Years of Satirical Composer P.D.Q. Bach

Discover the bizarre world of history's most famous fictional composer, P.D.Q. Bach, as composer Peter Schickele celebrates 50 years of his alter ego. Often utilizing unusual instruments like the pastaphone (made of uncooked manicotti), the hybrid tromboon and the left-handed sewer flute, Bach's "discovered" works consist of playful mashups of classical and popular pieces, satirical jabs at favorite composers and plenty of surprises. Over the years, Schickele has won four Grammy Awards for his P.D.Q. Bach recordings. Now you can experience the greatest hits of Johann Sebastian Bach's forgotten son at the Mayo Performing Arts Center in Morristown.
