Bach in English
Friday, April 25, 2025 at 7:30pm
Saturday, April 2026, 2025 at 3:00pm
In this concert, we explore the challenges and opportunities of performing Bach’s works in our vernacular English (a practice Bach very well could have approved, as a devout Lutheran).
Rev. Nathaniel Biebert, Lutheran pastor and expert in Reformation Era German as well as Michael Praetorius and JS Bach, will lead us through the issues with examples and a full cantata in English performed by La Follia. Learn what makes this music speak best to you!
