We possibly would not know the music of J.S. Bach if it were4 not for the romantic era composer Felix Mendelssohn who revealed Bach's St. Matthew Passion in 1825. In honor of the 200th anniversary of Mendelssohn's birth, we will sow the influence that Bach truly had on Mendelssohn.
This concert will feature organist Keith Rasmussen playing Mendelssohn's Organ Sonata in B-flat and Bach's Toccata and Fugue in G. The Bach Festival Chorus will sing chorales and movements from significant oratorios by both composers, as well as solo selections performed by our chorus section leaders. The Bok Academy Chorus will join the concert and our guest lutenist Timothy Burris will play one of Bach's beautiful lute concertos.
