In this pre-season fundraiser, Salastina teams up with Jones Coffee Roasters and a fantastic roster of musicians to present Bach's comic operatic masterpiece about addiction to coffee (in English). Mireya and Larry Jones will talk about the history of coffee during Bach's time, and a barista will be present - coffee drinks included!
