Beethoven once said of Bach's music, "It should not be called Bach, but the sea, because of its infinite, inexhaustible wealth of sound combinations and harmonies." ("Bach" means "stream" in German) This sentiment could not ring truer! The music of J.S. Bach is one of humanity's greatest treasures. It not only expresses the profound depth of feeling, it provides infinite joy to listeners and performers.
Join Bach in Baltimore and the Maryland State Boychoir in a collaborative performance of a Brilliant Bach Trio. The afternoon begins with the angelic voices of the Maryland State Boychoir performing two of the most beloved and best-known cantatas of the master: Cantata 140: Wachet Auf ("Sleepers Wake") and Cantata 4: Christ lag in Todesbanden ("Christ lay in death's bonds"). The concert concludes with the Bach in Baltimore Orchestra performing Bach's Oboe Concerto in D minor, mvmt. II.
