JS Bach:Orchestral Suite No. 3 in D major
JS Bach:Brandenburg Concerto No. 4
JS Bach:Cantata BWV 29 “Wir Danken Dir”
Get your New Year with off to a great start with the Celebratory Inaugural Concert of the Seattle Bach Festival with all the bells and whistles: a full baroque orchestra with trumpets, timpani and winds. Bach’s Cantata 29 was written for the 1731 “Ratswechsel” in Leipzig, a lavish ceremony celebrating the inauguration of the new Leipzig Town Council and a fitting and joyful start for our Seattle Bach Festival.
We are honored to welcome Dr. Michael Maul, the Director of the Bach Archiv Leipzig and the Leipzig Bach Festival as our Guest of Honor for the opening weekend of the Seattle Bach Festival.
