Bach Collegium Japan: Vivaldi, Handel, Bach

Johann Sebastian Bach — Brandenburg Concerto No. 2 in F major, BWV 1047
Johann Sebastian Bach — Jauchzet Gott in allen Landen, BWV 51
Antonio Vivaldi — Selected works
George Frideric Handel — Selected works

The lively music of three Baroque titans is performed by Bach Collegium Japan in its Seattle debut. Vivaldi’s wind concertos crackle with high energy, while Handel’s cantata reveals his brilliant vocal writing. The trumpet has prominent roles in two Bach works, reaching stratospheric heights in the festive “Brandenburg” Concerto No. 2 and accompanying Ms. Lunn in the joyous Cantata No. 51 – a work with a concluding “Alleluja” that’s an ecstatic game of tag between the instrument and voice.

Admission: $39 ($20 students/$25 discount side-section seating)

Presented by the Early Music Guild of Seattle.
