Brilliant fanfares of trumpets and drums herald the opening of J.S. Bach’s dramatic 𝐸𝑎𝑠𝑡𝑒𝑟 𝑂𝑟𝑎𝑡𝑜𝑟𝑖𝑜. With themes of spring, renewal, and rebirth, the Indianapolis Baroque Orchestra under the leadership of 𝐀𝐝𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐞 𝐏𝐨𝐬𝐭 with Second Presbyterian Church Sanctuary Choir under the direction of 𝐃𝐫. 𝐌𝐢𝐜𝐡𝐞𝐥𝐥𝐞 𝐋𝐨𝐮𝐞𝐫, present festive music of Eastertide. Bach’s oratorio leads us from darkness and sorrow to light and hope, with a professional quartet of outstanding soloists narrating the resurrection story.
Jan Dismas Zelenka, Bach’s Bohemian counterpart, expands both the orchestra (to FOUR baroque trumpets) and the joyful music in his rarely heard 𝑀𝑖𝑠𝑠𝑎 𝑃𝑎𝑠𝑐ℎ𝑎𝑙𝑖𝑠. With its sometimes surprising harmonic turns and quirky rhythmic figures, Zelenka’s Mass is sure to delight!
