Monthly Online Forum to Discover, Discuss and Enjoy Bach's Sacred Cantatas


 

Do you wish you had more opportunities to learn about and engage in thoughtful conversations about Bach's sacred cantatas? Are you looking into an entry point into this exceptional, yet both intimidating and underexposed, body of work??If you answered yes to at least one of these questions, consider joining the , an online platform of Bach lovers dedicated to discovering the musical wonders hidden among the first 200 items in the catalog of Bach's works.

Once a month, we meet on Zoom to examine two or three sacred cantatas, discuss their historical and liturgical context, engage in some technically accessible analysis of the movements, point out connections with other works by Bach or other composers, and?listen to examples of particularly compelling moments in the score. Finally, we watch an entire performance of the works, offered by today's most engaging performers.

Meetings take place one Sunday a month, from 10am to 12:15 pm EST (New York/Washington, DC time). We look forward to meeting you and listening to great music together.
