Bach+: Up Next
J. Ernest Green conducts the Chorale’s Chamber Chorus and members of the Annapolis Chamber Orchestra in JS Bach’s St. John Passion, one of the most riveting and influential works in all of Western music. Presented at St. Anne's Church, Mr. Green and company will make the most of the historic church’s space and acoustics for this performance.
Musicologist and author Michael Marissen will present some fascinating notes about the St. John Passion at 7:15 p.m. (just prior to the 8:00 p.m. performance). His many books include "Bach & God" (Oxford, 2016) and "Tainted Glory in Handel's Messiah" (Yale, 2014), and his essays have appeared in the Harvard Theological Review, The Huffington Post, and The New York Times.
