Conversation Concert

A "Conversation Concert" is a unique event, where the soloists, chorus and orchestra are employed to illustrate points of a pre-performance lecture.  In twenty minutes or so, we explore the musical, historical, and theological context of the programmed work, in order to make the composer's efforts more accessible to our modern ears, and more relevant to our contemporary way of life. Then we perform the entire work, all the way through. Join us as we explore the musical and historic context of one of Johann Sebastian Bach's most unique cantatas, "Wachet, betet, betet, wachet," (Watch, pray, be prepared at all times), BWV 70.
