2020-2021 Season
At this time, no live concerts are scheduled for the 2020-21 season. We hope to be able to schedule performances in 2021, as soon as it is safe to do so.
Virtual Season
Sunday, October 25th, 2pm
Join Ralph Nelson and members of the Bach Cantata Choir online for a presentation about Bach, Luther, and
Bach's powerful and fascinating Cantata No. 80 "Ein feste Burg ist unser Gott."
Ralph will start by explaining the history of the cantata, and then the score will be projected on the screen. Audience
members will be muted on Zoom -- but are free to sing along. At the end, we'll join in together on
Luther's great Reformation hymn, "A Mighty Fortress Is Our God."
Registration for this event has closed. Hope to see you at the next event!
