BACH MOTETS
The Tafelmusik Chamber Choir is featured in a program of Johann Sebastian Bach’s most expressive and intimate choral music, combined with music written by his mentor and cousin, the enigmatic Johann Christoph Bach. Between the motets, violinist Cristina Zacharias will interweave movements from Bach’s partitas and sonatas for solo violin. The concert is directed by Ivars Taurins, and is accompanied by organist Christopher Bagan.
