SUMMARY:140th Bethlehem Bach at Noon | February 11
DESCRIPTION:Our season continues with our inspiring Bach at Noon series in Bethlehem. Gather with us for this free concert series\, a musical gift to our community. Hear members of the Bach Choir and Bach Festival Orchestra along with exciting guest artists. Enjoy insightful and enlightening remarks by Christopher Jackson\, Artistic Director and Conductor of the Bach Choir. The February Bach at Noon concert is named “The Daniel Family Memorial Concert” and is made possible in part by a generous endowment gift from John L. and Carol H. Daniel.\n\nAbout the Music\nThe Bach Choir of Bethlehem celebrates its 140th iteration of the Bethlehem Bach at Noon series with Nicola Antonio Porpora’s Cello Concerto in G Major and Johann Sebastian Bach’s Cantata BWV 140\, “Wachet auf\, ruft uns die Stimme.” Porpora’s concerto showcases the expressive richness of the cello\, blending lyrical melodies and virtuosic passages in a Baroque masterpiece that highlights the instrument’s versatility. Complementing this is Bach’s beloved cantata\, a choral gem that invites listeners into a world of spiritual awakening through its elegant interplay of voices and instruments. Together\, these works promise a journey through the profound beauty and emotional depth of the Baroque era. \nAbout the Performers\nWe’ve gathered some of the country’s finest baroque singers in celebration of our 140th Bethlehem Bach at Noon. Soprano soloist Clara Rottsolk\, one of our nation’s most sought after performers of Bach\, is a familiar and beloved presence here at the Bach Choir. She was the soprano soloist on our recent recording of the Mendelssohn/Bach Saint Matthew Passion. We are also fortunate to have Bass-Baritone Paul Max Tipton return to Bethlehem following his Bass soloist performance at our 2024 Festival. \n\n \nCLICK HERE TO VIEW THE DIGITAL PROGRAM \n \n\nClick the above logo to livestream this month’s Bach at Noon \nPlease help us meet February’s 140th Bethlehem Bach at Noon Donation Challenge!\nBach Choir Board member Chip Dangelmajer\, and his wife\, Maria\, are longtime Guarantors and frequently share their love of Bach’s music by bringing friends to our Bach at Noon concerts.
