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.
