John Butt, "Bach's Dialogue with Modernity"
- Sponsored by:
- Music, Religion, and Charles P. Scott Center for Spiritual and Religious Life
The Passions of J.S. Bach are among Bach’s most revered and respected music, yet that music is grounded in specific religious context far removed from today. Is Bach’s music truly universal, or is there another way to understand how Bach’s Passions resonate in the modern era? This talk is an introductory event to the Middlebury Bach Festival, in which John Butt will conduct J. S. Bach’s “St John Passion,” Saturday April 28 and Sunday April 29. go/bachfest/
