Music

Join Maestro T. Herbert Dimmock, the Bach in Baltimore Choir and Orchestra, plus special guests for a sparkling concert illuminating Fauré’s Requiem and a pair of Haydn symphonies. Fauré’s composition is noteworthy for its serene and peaceful mood. Unlike large-scale requiems by Verdi, Brahms, and others, Fauré’s work exudes a gentle stillness and ethereal spirituality. Fauré composed his Requiem following the death of his father, and his mother passed away shortly after it premiered, giving the work added poignancy.

Get a jump on your musical resolution with our rousing concert featuring works by Baroque masters Handel and Bach. The concert opens with Handel’s elegant yet invigorating Oboe Concerto in G minor.

Spend an afternoon luxuriating in a program that includes Bach’s soulful Cantata 2: Ach Gott vom Himmel sieh darein (Ah God, look down from Heaven) and six of the most beloved and enduring arias of J. S. Bach drawn from the entire lifelong output of the master, including “Erbarme dich,” an alto aria from St. Matthew Passion; “Komm in mein Herzenshaus,” a soprano solo from Cantata 80; “Agnus Dei,” an alto solo from the B Minor Mass; “Ach mein sinn,” a tenor aria from St.

Celebrate our 35th Anniversary with an all-Bach tribute, including Brandenburg Concerto No. 5 & Cantata 182. The program features Brandenburg Concerto No. 5. Bach wrote the six Brandenburg Concertos as a set of audition pieces. For that reason, he explored all boundaries in Baroque music. The result is one of the greatest treasures of all of Western Civilization.  Following is Cantata 182 Himmelskönig, sei willkommen (King of Heaven, welcome),  a perfect musical welcome to several new artists joining us for the first time this season.

Bach in Baltimore kicks off its 35th Anniversary Season with a concert featuring two musical forms that define Baroque Period Music. The concert opens with Bach’s Orchestral Suite No. 1 in C Major, a masterwork in Baroque counterpoint, a technique that uses multiple melodies to play simultaneously, creating contrast, highlight, and interplay. Bach excelled at counterpoint, one of the many reasons his music stands the test of time. A Baroque cantata will close the concert. Bach in Baltimore is one of the only music ensembles that regularly performs Bach’s cantatas.

The Baltimore Chamber Jazz Society (BCJS) will present its inaugural vocal ensemble performance as part of its 30th anniversary celebration. Grammy Award winners, New York Voices (NYV) will take the stage, making their Baltimore debut.
