The Bach Ensemble of St. Thomas will present a special concert in honor of Bach’s Birthday in the spectacular Cathedral Basilica of the Assumption on Sunday, March 13 at 3pm. The program includes choral masterworks, a dynamic instrumental concerto, and two intimate solo works.
The Bach Ensemble will be joined by the 16-member professional Bach Choir to perform three sacred cantatas by J. S. Bach. Featured soloists are Cincinnati Symphony musicians Randy Bowman, flute, and Dwight Parry, oboe, who will perform a Concerto for Flute and Oboe by J. S. Bach’s contemporary and friend, G. P. Telemann. Mr. Bowman will be featured in Bach’s Chromatic Fantasy in an arrangement for solo flute. Guest artist Dr. Erik Anderson, Professor of Music at Minot State University and an alumnus of the College-Conservatory of Music, will perform Bach’s Cello Suite in d-minor. Vocal soloists are Melissa Harvey, soprano; Adria Caffaro, alto; Allan Palacios Chan, tenor; and Jonathan Cooper, bass, who will join with Mr. Parry in performing one of Bach’s most beloved cantatas, Ich habe genug, BWV 82.
The concert is part of the Cathedral Basilica annual Concert Series. It is free and open to the public. Donations to benefit the Concert Series and the Bach Ensemble will be accepted.
