Bach’s Motets
The Singers’ Favorite!
The Bach Motets, featuring BWV 225–230
Sunday, November 12, 2023 at 4:00 P.M.
National Presbyterian Church
Washington, DC
Audiences love to hear any one of Bach’s iconic motets in a live performance, but to hear all of them in one evening is a revelation. Bach’s vocal-ensemble writing is legendary among singers, artfully bringing to life the rhetorical substance of his musical and theological convictions. A valuable part of Bach’s oeuvre, the motets together capture the full range of connection between text, music, and faith.
Join us for Talking Bach at 3 p.m. The series of free pre-concert lectures by noted Bach scholar, Michael Marissen, are presented one hour before Director’s Series performances.
