Bach’s Cantata 149 & Bach’s Orchestral Suite, No. 3 in D major

Stephanie Kruskol Batchelder, soprano; Claire Galloway Weber, alto; Michael Dodge, tenor

Usher in spring with our Spring Fever Concert featuring Bach’s Cantata 149: Man singet mit Freuden vom Sieg (There are joyful songs of victory). Composed in 1728/29 for the Feast of Saint Michael, this bright and festive piece features trumpets and timpani setting the stage for a polyphonic rallying cry triumphing good over evil. Of all the Bach instrumental music, none is more exhilarating and festive than his Orchestral Suite, No. 3 in D major. In addition to the powerful fanfares in the trumpets, this suite is beloved for the famous slow movement, nicknamed “Air on a G String.”

Please stay for our Gala BachFest with Silent Auction immediately following the Gala Concert. Drinks and hors d’ourves will be served throughout the evening as the Silent Auction progresses, while music and entertainment will be provided by the talented musicians of Bach in Baltimore.

Concert Admission: $20 in advance, $22 at the door
