The Festival Friday evening concert promises to rouse your spirit in a program consisting solely of Bach, featuring the full Choir, Bach Festival Orchestra, renowned vocal soloists, and the Bethlehem debut of violinist Caroline Goulding. Cantatas 69 and 172 with full choir and orchestra are stirring and powerful. You’ll also be taken with the intimate Dialogue Cantata BWV 152 Tritt auf die Glaubensbahn which “symbolizes the cornerstone of faith set by God in Jesus’ incarnation” (John Eliot Gardiner). The cantata features Agnes Zsigovics, soprano and William Sharp, bass accompanied by a chamber group which includes viola d’amore and viola da gamba. Rising star and Young Festival-Artist-in-Residence, Caroline Goulding is featured in the Concerto in E Major for Solo Violin. Ms. Goulding has appeared as a soloist with many of the world’s premier orchestras including The Cleveland Orchestra, Frankfurt Radio Symphony Orchestra, Toronto Symphony, Netherlands Philharmonic Orchestra, National Symphony, and Deutsche Radio Philharmonie. She has appeared in recital at Carnegie Hall, Lincoln Center, the Kennedy Center, Beijing’s Forbidden City Concert Hall, and the Louvre Museum. “… fantastic style and flair, with an extraordinary virtuosity that always serves the character of the music. A violinist you must hear!” -Peter Oundjian, Music Director of Toronto Symphony Orchestra Watch and listen to a sampling of Caroline Goulding’s amazing talent!
