Festive Canatas – Bach and Zelenka | The Pacific Baroque Orchestra (CANADA) in Victoria on 21 December 2024
Saturday, December 21, 2024, 1500 - 1700
Premiered in Leipzig on Christmas day, 1745, Bach's BWV 191 work is derived from a Gloria that was later used in the great B minor Mass. It is Bach's only sacred cantata sung in Latin.

Bohemian composer, Jan Dismas Zelenka was a contemporary of Bach and the two composers evidently knew each other. Bach is said to have highly esteemed the work of Zelenka, whose unusual and creative use of harmonic invention and counterpoint make his music unique, complex and virtuosic for his time.

Vancouver's Pacific Baroque Orchestra, under the direction of Alexander Weimann, will be joined by the Vancouver Chamber Choir and soloists Helene Brunet and Suzie LeBlanc, sopranos; Cecilia Duarte, alto; James Reese, tenor; William Kraushaar, bass.

Celebrate Christmas with this powerful program of choral and orchestral works, presented in the magnificent setting of Christ Church Cathedral.
