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 season, our Bach Cantata performances follow Bach’s career and creative process from his early days in Arnstadt, Mühlhausen and Weimar, thence to Cöthen, and finally, Leipzig.
With the theme of "Leipzig I: Reformatin Music," this concert features these cantatas:
* Ein feste Burg ist unser Gott (BWV 80)
* Ein feste Burg ist unser Gott (BWV 720)
* Was mein Gott will, das g'scheh allzeit (BWV 111)
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.
Learn more about the music in this concert by attending a pre-concert conversation with Dr. Zebulon Highben, director of Chapel Music. The talk will be at 4:00 p.m. in Goodson Chapel in the Divinity School's Westbrook Building.
