The 107th Bethlehem Bach Festival

The Bach Choir of Bethlehem presents the 107th Bethlehem Bach Festival May 2 at Lehigh University, Bethlehem. This concert will feature a majestic range of J.S. Bach Cantatas – from some of Bach’s most intimate and contemplative cantatas to his most epic.

On Friday evening at 8 pm, the entire choir will assemble with the full Bach Festival Orchestra and renowned soloists to present works of incredible power and majesty including the immortal Cantata 34, Cantata 19, which is one of Bach’s great cantatas for the Feast of St. Michael and All Angels, and Cantata 78 which includes the famous duet (We race with weak but eager strides) sung by soprano Agnes Zsigovics and counter tenor Daniel Taylor; the immortal Cantata 34 (O light everlasting) ends with the great chorus proclaiming “Peace be to Israel.”

A not-to-be-missed concert filled with especially vivid music!

“…an American musical treasure… they sing with a fervor and a level of musicianship that carries one away—from bass to soprano, the supple strength “…an American musical treasure… they sing with a fervor and a level of musicianship that carries one away—from bass to soprano, the supple strength and solidly integrated tone of this amateur choir reflects the most admirable qualities of the European-American tradition of choral song.”
