Join us for an intimate concert of the conversational, thoughtful, and religious music of the German Baroque in celebration of the 500th anniversary of the Protestant Reformation. Explore the vocal and instrumental music of Bach, Buxtehude, and Telemann, three great master composers who fulfilled Luther’s vision of accessible, meaningful music in the new Protestant churches of Germany. The concert will conclude with a performance of J.S. Bach’s great cantata 51, “Jauchzet Gott in allen Landen.”
