J.S. Bach: Mass and Motets

Speaker

Chorworks

This concert features larger-scale works, including Bach's famous motets "Komm, Jesu," "komm, Singet dem Herrn," and "Der Geist hilft unser Schwachheit auf." The program concludes with the breathtaking and astonishing music of Bach's "Missa in A major," one of his four settings of the Lutheran Mass.

Free admission. Parking is available in the Bryan Center Garage at 125 Science Dr.

The concert is presented by singers with the Chorworks summer program. Directed by the Chapel's conductor-in-residence Dr. Philip Cave, Chorworks is a week-long workshop for talented, early-career singers to deepen their facility with early music repertoire.

Chorworks' founder, Dr. Cave, is a conductor, educator, singer, and the director of the professional ensemble Magnificat. As a vocal soloist, he has worked with celebrated conductors including Leonard Bernstein, and at venues including the Beethovenhalle in Bonn and the Sydney Opera House. He has performed across Europe, at the BBC Promenade Concerts in London, and has shared the concert platform with many distinguished musicians, including Sir Peter Pears, Sting, and Sir Paul McCartney.

Dr. Cave is joined in leading this year's Chorworks workshop by guest artist instructors, including soprano Molly Quinn, baritone Harrison Hintzsche, and instrumentalist Daniel Swenborg.
