This season, the BCFW does something unique in each of its three concerts. Our first concert on November 10 features tenor Daniel McGrew taking on Cantata No. 55, the only tenor solo cantata in Bach’s oeuvre. Daniel left such a strong impression on our audience as the Evangelist in our St. John Passion concert this past March. Our second concert on February 16 features cantatas that call for the corno da tirarsi (slide horn); for these, we invite Brad Tatum, who plays this rare baroque instrument, from Maryland. In our third concert on April 27, along with three amazing cantatas, we let our string players have fun playing one of the six Concerti armonici by Dutch composer Unico Wilhelm van Wassenaer. Our choir will also take on challenging a-cappella repertoire throughout the season.

If you have heard the music of Bach performed, it was probably by a group playing modern instruments. The Bach Collegium, in contrast, brings in specialists from around the country who play replicas of the instruments used in the Baroque era. With fanatical devotion, the musicians study the Baroque methods of interpreting the musical style. In short, unless you’ve heard Bach in historically informed performance, you haven’t heard the master.
WHATZUP
The Bach Collegium is a not-for-profit choral and instrumental ensemble composed of disciplined and experienced musicians, which presents performances and workshops, using J.S. Bach as the model composer.
