Johann Sebastian Bach’s church cantatas are often considered the pinnacle of German sacred music, works whose theological depth and emotional resonance touch deep places in the human soul. This year, we follow Bach through the various stages of his career, from his earliest appointments in Arnstadt and Mühlhausen, to Weimar, and to the culmination of his work in Leipzig. Each place and each employment offered Bach different opportunities to focus his creative energies.

PARTNER CONCERT: Missa Solemnis with the Choral Society of Durham

Sunday, May 18, 4:00 pm Baldwin Auditorium, Durham
The Choral Society of Durham, Rodney Wynkoop – director, with Mallarmé Music
Rarely performed because of the sheer difficulty of singing it, Beethoven’s monumental Missa Solemnis was considered by the composer to be his greatest composition, a culmination of his life-long desire to combine music and philosophy. The full power of this piece, according to one writer, lies in the glory of its vision, that musical struggle required, and the joy of obstacles overcome. The Choral Society’s 150 singers will be joined by a superb orchestra from Mallarmé Music and a quartet of professional soloists.

SERIES CONCERT #6: Incessant Hum: theatre/music hybrid event celebrating Beethoven!
2025-05-23 19:30 - 21:00 | PSI Theatre – Durham Arts Council, 120 Morris St, Durham, NC, 27701, United States
In 2020, the world celebrated the 250th anniversary of Ludwig van Beethoven’s birth; five years later, Mallarme Music will pay tribute to the composer’s legacy and his contribution to our world, with an original script by Jeff Neuman: Incessant Hum.
Commissioned by the Colorado Chamber Players, the production is a chamber music/theatre hybrid in honor of Beethoven. Playwright Neuman is himself profoundly hard of hearing.
Directed by Eric Love, Incessant Hum explores the emotional world that Beethoven experienced, as he lost his hearing and his ability to perform as a pianist and conductor. With Austin Campion as Beethoven and Alissa Roca as the mysterious Elise, Mallarme Music performs excerpts from the op. 95 and 135 quartets; the Archduke Trio; Piano Sonata, op. 32 and Moonlight Sonata; Cello and Piano Sonata No. 5 in D Major; and “Ode To Joy” from Symphony No. 9.
Jacqueline Wolborsky and Tiffany Kang – violin
Suzanne Rousso – viola, Nate Leyland – cello

Johann Sebastian Bach’s cantatas are often considered the pinnacle of German sacred music, works whose theological depth and emotional resonance touch deep places in the human soul. This year’s cantata series, “Bach &,” features cantatas, concerti, and organ works by Bach and his contemporaries, illuminating the connections and differences between these Baroque masters.
This concert contrasts the music of Bach and Vivaldi. A lot of Vivaldi’s music was written for young players, which is recognized in this performance by having Duke students play the solo violin parts. They will perform on the music department’s historic period instruments, tuned to Baroque-era pitch.
Learn more about the music in this concert at a pre-concert lecture by Duke Chapel Organist Chad Fothergill at 4:00 p.m. in the Divinity School’s Goodson Chapel.
Families with young children, or those not able to attend the concert, are welcome to visit the rehearsal in Duke Chapel on Saturday, November 8, between 1:30 and 4:00 p.m.
