On Monday, July 27, at 9 a.m., KFUO’s “Coffee Hour” will devote an episode to the Calov Bible of Johann Sebastian Bach. The Bible, which includes handwritten annotations by Bach himself, is one of the treasures housed here at our library, on the campus of Concordia Seminary. To kick off KFUO’s annual Bach Week (marking the anniversary of the composer’s death), hosts Andy Bates and Sara Gulseth will speak with our own Special Collections Librarian Bruce Durazzi about the book, its history and what it teaches us about J.S. Bach.

Listen live on KFUO AM 850, 92.7 FM (St. Charles), 104.5 FM (St. Louis), 105.3 FM (St. Louis) or livestream at kfuo.org. The program will be available later as a podcast.
