A Philadelphia tradition!

Sparkling, entertaining and joyous!

Soloists: Megan Monaghan (soprano), Jody Kidwell (mezzo-soprano),
Timothy Bentch (tenor), Ed Bara (bass)
Unlike his weekly written cantatas which were part of his duties as Kapellmeister in various churches, the B Minor Mass was composed over a span of 20 years and is a musical testament of Bach. "The greatest work of music of all ages and of all peoples" said famous 19th century scholar, Hans-Georg Nägeli. Performed by a stellar cast with Baroque instruments. Spectacular and uplifting!

Stravinsky: Ragtime
Gershwin: An American in Paris; Symphonic Suite: Porgy & Bess

And "rebels" they were! In different ways and music genres, Fauré, Stravinsky and Gershwin changed the norms of music at the time of transition - 1910 to 1920 - in Paris and elsewhere! From the smooth melodies with harmonic twists of Fauré, to the wild Russian folk tunes adapted to rag of Stravinsky and the symphonic jazz of Gershwin, this very unusual concert was custom designed to be part of the first Philadelphia International Festival of the Arts! Don't miss it!
