Each spring, we bring a special emphasis to our Bach Festival. Past foci have included women who affected Bach’s musical compositions and the influence of his music in Latin America. This year we are proud to have the Whittier College Choir join in vocal force with Chorale Bel Canto for Christ lag in Todes Banden, BWV 4.
There will be two performances of the cantata: one at First Friends Church on March 22 at 4 p.m. and another at the Memorial Chapel during the 85th Annual Bach Festival. Note: tickets are required for the Friends Church concert.
April 4-6, 2025
