Bach Cantata Concert This Sunday

Johann Sebastian Bach's church cantatas are often considered the pinnacle of German sacred music, works whose theological depth and emotional resonance touch deep places in the human soul. With a theme of "Music for Candlemas," next concert in our Bach Cantata Series this Sunday, February 4, at 5:00 p.m. will present two cantatas and a motet by J. S. Bach, and a cantata by Johann Kuhnau. Free admission.

A talk by Dr. Roseen Giles before the concert in the Divinity School's Goodson Chapel at 4:00 p.m. will provide musical and historical context for the performance.

Families with young children are invited to attend a rehearsal the day before the concert (February 3) between 2:00 and 3:30 p.m. for a chance to hear the music of the concert in an informal setting.
