J.S. BACH'S CHRISTMAS CANTATASFriday, December 6 @7:30 PM
First Unitarian Church
90 Main Street, Worcester
Pre-concert talk @7:00 PM by Chris Shepherd, Artistic Director of the Worcester Chorus and The Complete Bach
Our winter Baroque concert this year takes on a special shimmer as we join forces with guest musicians and vocalists to present J.S. Bach’s Christmas Cantatas (nos. 32, 151, and 132). Replete with rich orchestration and stunning vocal parts, this is Bach at his finest, and a perfect way to welcome the holiday season.
Johann Sebastian Bach
BWV 32 – Liebster Jesu, mein Verlangen
BWV 151 – Süßer Trost, mein Jesus kömmt
BWV 132 – Bereitet die Wege, bereitet die Bahn
With guests:
Soloists Kristen Watson, soprano / Krista River, alto / Matthew Anderson, tenor / David McFerrin, bass
Instrumentalists Kirsten Lipkins, oboe / Nathan Varga, double bass / John McKean, harpsichord
This performance is presented in collaboration with Music Worcester as part of Music Worcester’s The Complete Bach, an 11-year project to present all of J.S. Bach’s music in advance of his 350th birthday.
