This is a collaboration uniting the Full Orchestra and members of the Vocal Department with the world-reknown Colorado Bach Ensemble in an all Bach program.
Colorado Bach Ensemble is dedicated to performing and promoting the music of Johann Sebastian Bach and his contemporaries with a special focus on Bach’s vocal masterpieces. Under the guidance of its artistic director, James Kim, Colorado Bach Ensemble’s mission is to study and perform Bach’s music in the spirit and with the grace of the Baroque style; to grow the audience for Bach’s music through concerts, recording, and tours; and to cultivate a deep appreciation for Bach’s music through engaging educational programs. DSA is honored to be part of this exciting program.
This concert will include Bach’s Cantata 44 which was written in 1724 as a church piece to be played the first Sunday after Ascension. It speaks to the persecution of Christians and the promise of ultimate rescue. This will be performed by the Full Orchestra, the choir and soloists from the Vocal Department as well as the members of the Ensemble, all conducted by Dr. James Kim, founder and artistic director.
The second piece will be the Concerto in A Minor for Violin which reflects Bach’s influence by Italian composers such as his friend Vivaldi. The piece in three movements will include the DSA Orchestra and featured student soloists.
The program will be completed with several Bach Arias. This is a very special once-in-a-lifetime concert offering a unique opportunity for the participating students. Not to be missed.
