Bach in our Time: Turn of the Century

Alex Ayers, violin
Katheen Van De Graaff, soprano
Brad Benoit, tenor
Peter Van De Graaff, bass
Jubilate Chorale

Hometown phenomenon Alex Ayers solos in one of J.S. Bach's masterly violin concertos, following a luminous work for string orchestra by one of the finest contemporary composers. After the area premiere of the recently-unearthed chamber version of Richard Strauss' heart-wrenching elegy on the war-torn Germany of 1945, perhaps Bach's most beloved of all Cantatas - featuring the Jubilate Chorale - will perfectly compliment the Chapel's beautiful Gothic interior for the Advent season.
