Michael Prætorius

The San Francisco Bach Choir Opens its Season with the Music of Michael Prætorius

Accented by two virtuosic works for organ, this program of dramatic chorale settings for multiple choirs with continuo and grand organ—including the eloquent Mit Fried und Freud ich fahr’ dahin —captures the extraordinary musical vision of this early North German master of the colossal Baroque.

This program is supported in part by grants from the San Francisco Grants for the Arts /Hotel Tax Fund and Wells Fargo and Bank of America Foundations.
