Bach's Birthday Bash Weekend
In Music Worcester’s third annual Cantatathon, three ensembles perform a selection of five cantatas at Mechanics Hall. This year’s performance features local singers as well as out-of-state groups excited by the project.
Trinity Lutheran Church Choir (Worcester, MA)
The Chamber Singers of Haverford and Bryn Mawr Colleges (Pennsylvania)
plus more to come
Cantatas, vocal works for solo/chorus and orchestra, celebrate sacred or secular traditions – holidays, birthdays, parties. These works are conversations between voice and instrument and are meant to spotlight the technical abilities of the performer. Over the course of THE COMPLETE BACH’s eleven years, ensembles will present each of Bach’s 200+ cantatas. At intermission, join us for cake and champagne in honor of Bach’s 342nd birthday.
Program:
In allen meinen Taten, BWV 97
Sei Lob und Ehr dem höchsten Gut, BWV 117
Erhöhtes Fleisch und Blut, BWV 173
Erwünschtes Freudenlicht, BWV 184
Ich lebe, mein Herze, zu deinem Ergötzen, BWV 45
