Bach Cantata Series: Chamber Cantatas

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. This year, we follow Bach through the various stages of his career, from his earliest appointments in Arnstadt and Mühlhausen, to Weimar, and to the culmination of his work in Leipzig. Each place and each employment offered Bach different opportunities to focus his creative energies.

The theme of this concert is "Arnstadt and Mühlhausen: Chamber Cantatas" and features these cantatas:

• Gottes Zeit ist die allerbeste Zeit (BWV 106)
• Aus der Tiefen rufe ich, Herr, zu dir (BWV 131)
• Nach dir, Herr, verlanget mich (BWV 150)

There is no charge for admission. Paid parking is available on a first-come-first-served basis in the Bryan Center Garage at 125 Science Drive. ADA parking is available in the surface lot at the same address.
