Location: The Clarice Smith Performing Arts Center
J.S. Bach, known as the great master, wrote more than 200 cantatas, and UMD Choral Activities aims to sing them all in this series of short performances led by conductors in the graduate program. Conducted by a graduate student from the choral conducting program, this performance will feature Jesus schläft, was soll ich hoffen (BWV 81). Written for the fourth Sunday after Epiphany in 1724 where the Gospel Reading describes Jesus out at sea during a storm, BWV 81 mimics the waves in the sea, a billowing storm and the calming of the ocean. Experience this dramatic scene during this September’s Bach Cantata Series performance.
Presented by the UMD School of Music.
