Johann Sebastian Bach was the composer of some the most enduring and cherished musical repertoire in Western Music. It is possible to lose sight of the fact that he was for most of his life nothing more glamorous than Director of Music (Cantor) at Lutheran churches in and around Leipzig, and spent his entire career in an area roughly the geographic size of northern Vermont. How then that his work has put him among the greatest and most performed composers of all time? Come to hear two of his greatest Cantatas (sacred works for voices and orchestra) plus two of his most famous instrumental concertos, and be reminded why he will always remain at the top our list!
Concerto for Oboe and Violin in C minor
Cantata #30: Rejoice, Redeemed People!
Concerto for Two Violins in D minor
Cantata #147 Heart and Mouth, Deed and Life (Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring)
