Lieschen absolutely loves coffee! Her father absolutely does not and wants her to give up her morning brew. Who will win this caffeinated battle of wills? Join us for Bach’s sparkling comedic miniature featuring the world premiere of a new English translation and orchestration by OSO Music Director Geoffrey McDonald. Audiences will become further immersed in the plot’s debate with a guided coffee tasting from The Lost Draft.

PARTNER

Art is an expression that can never be perfected. It is indefinite, ever-evolving. Artists reveal the highest versions of themselves when they are lost in their work. There is no final draft. There is only the draft that best represents you as an artist. And what artist doesn’t love coffee? That is the inspiration behind The Lost Draft. A creative space for creative people who love coffee.
