Come celebrate Bach's 325th birthday with us! The Bach Choir will be joined by a large brass ensemble for performances of choral and instrumental works by Giovanni Gabrieli (1554-1612), Heinrich Schutz (1585-1672), and Johann Sebastian Bach, including Bach's Cantata 118 in the version he wrote for chorus and brass instruments. Also on the program, a stunning piece for four French horns, trumpets, trombones and tuba by Paul Hindemith (1895-1963)- his setting of an anonymous text from the 5th - 7th centuries -Apparebit Repentia Dies --"The great day of the Lord will suddenly appear!" Here is a wonderful opportunity to encounter famous composers who influenced J.S. Bach and see how he influenced one of the greatest composers of the 20th century.
