In his lifetime, J.S. Bach produced a wealth of outstanding choral works contained in over 200 rarely heard church cantatas. Joined by internationally renowned natural trumpet specialist John Thiessen, we present some of the greatest and best loved choruses and chorales from the Cantatas, including Ein’ feste Burg, BWV 80, Herz und Mund und Tat und Leben, BWV 147, Es Erhub sich ein Streit, BWV 19. The concert will also feature our Baroque orchestra joined by a trumpettenchor in Bach’s Orchestral Suite in D Major, BWV 1068. Don’t miss this exquisite final concert of our 65th season!
