What is it about Weddings and Cake?! Is there a better way to conclude the Bach Cantata Choir’s 8th season than enjoying J.S. Bach’s Wedding Cantata and a piece of cake?

We hope you will stay following our June 2nd concert to join the Cake Walk.  (Think raffle combined with musical chairs with the prizes being delicious cakes. Old fashioned?  Sure, but cake walks are making a comeback.)

For just a $5 donation (note: larger donations will not be refused), you may take a turn for a chance take home one of about a dozen donated cakes. Or, if you prefer, just enjoy a piece of cake and watch others compete. Either way, stay and visit with us for a few minutes after the concert.

All proceeds from the Cake Walk will be used to fund our July trip to the 2013 Abbey Bach Festival.

We hope to see you at our final concert for the season: Sunday, June 2nd, 2:00 PM at Rose City Park Presbyterian Church (map). The concert is free (free-will offering accepted).

The Bach Cantata Choir will perform at the 2013 Abbey Bach Festival at the Mt. Angel Abbey.  The Abbey has a rich tradition that started in Oregon in 1882, and the annual Bach festival has been a part of that tradition for 42 years.  We will sing two different half hour concerts at 6 PM on July 25 and 26, just following the vespers service and prior to the dinner that precedes the 8 PM concert. It is a great honor for us and will be a wonderful experience for the audience and musicians alike.
 
We hope that many of you will join us in July.  The musical experience will be quite different from our normal concerts because of the Abbey church acoustics and architecture.  Tickets may be purchased on the festival web site and you can find additional information about the Abbey and Festival there as well.  
 
We will receive a stipend from the Festival for our performance, but we need to raise additional funds to cover our costs.  If you would like to help us in this effort, please visit our Donations page to make a donation securely through PayPal.
