The Bethesda Lutheran Church family invites you to join us for the stirring music of Bach and James Whitbourn on Sunday, Nov. 8 at 4:30 p.m. Our 40-voice Bethesda Bach Choir and soloists, conductor Kathryn Nichols, accompanied by an ensemble of period instruments led by noted violinist Daniel Lee, will bring this ancient music to life. Come experience it for yourself!All assembled will join in singing a festive setting of A Mighty Fortress Is Our God accompanied by trumpeters, Katie Hillstrom and Luke Fox and organist Mark Brombaugh.
Bach's Missa Brevis consists of settings of only the Kyrie and Gloria. Soloists Margaret Astrup, Sarah Blaze, Gene Stenger, and Hernan Berisso illuminate phrases of the Gloria, framed by exuberant choral movements with strings and sprightly oboes (Priscilla Herreid and Remy Libbrecht).
Daniel Lee will be featured playing Bach's Violin Sonata in G, a flamboyant work in the Italian style with contrasting expressive slow movements and virtuosic fast sections.
James Whitbourn's anthem All Shall Be Amen and Alleluia offers a nod to the season of All Saints and will provide an uplifting close to the concert, accompanied by the surround-sound of piano (Jonathan Weiss), organ, cymbals and tam-tam.
Please share the attached flyer with your friends and neighbors and on your social media, and plan now to enjoy this music and the sumptuous reception afterwards. Admission is free and, to care for those in need in New Haven, donations to Christian Community Action (https://www.ccahelping.org/) are gladly received.
