The Bach Vocal Artists conclude the 89th season by performing a selection of choral music that promises to feed the soul and the intellect through its sheer beauty and elegance. Truly…Songs for the Soul.
Grandeur and ingenuity abound though five Baroque era composers’ interpretations of the Magnificat, a canticle of praise to Mary: Vivaldi, Telemann, Zelenka, Caldara and Heinecken. This program will feature the virtuosic ensemble, Bach Vocal Artists.
Dixit Dominus, Laudate pueri Dominus, and Nisi Dominus were commissioned by Handel’s Roman patron, Cardinal Colonna. These are some of the most charming examples of Handel’s early music and are rarely heard together.

For the final concert of their inaugural year, the Bach Vocal Artists will present a program entitled “The Marriage of Music and Poetry” patterned after a Rollins College class by the same name taught for many years by Dr. Sinclair. This hybrid program will use beautiful choral settings and insightful commentary to explore the relationship between music, the language of sound, and poetry, the music of language.
