Help us celebrate Johann Sebastian Bach's three-hundred-and-32nd—and artistic director Sven Edward Olbash's ninth-annual 32nd—birthday with music by J.S. Bach, Mendelssohn, Herzogenberg, and Brahms.
The highlight of the program will be Bach's motet Jesu, meine freude, one of his most beloved a cappella compositions. Following the Baroque practice of performing a cappella works with instruments playing "colla parte" (i.e. with the voice parts), our performance will feature a period instrumental ensemble.
Other works on the program show Bach's profound influence on music of the 19th century: English canticles by Felix Mendelssohn—the composer-conductor credited with the modern Bach revival, contrapuntal motets by Johannes Brahms, and a setting of Psalm 116 by Heinrich Herzogenberg.
Friday, March 17 at 8 pm at St Mark's, 1111 O'Farrell Street, San Francisco
and Saturday, March 18 at 8 pm at St John the Evangelist, 1661 15th Street, San Francisco
