Bach Festival

College Choir, Emory Fanning and an orchestra and soloists of music faculty, affiliate artists, alumni and guests perform music by Johann Sebastian Bach celebrating the Leipzig tenure of the famous Kappellmeister. Interest sessions feature demonstration of the performance practice, style and history behind Bach’s music, and discussion of concepts such as how we hear and perform this music today. The concert includes Cantata 191 (later incorporated into the Mass in B Minor), organ, solo instrumental and orchestral music, and music performed by Bach on this day in 1724 in Leipzig.
