Washington’s Premier Bach Experience

Margot Rood

French and English baroque masters such as Jean-Philippe Rameau, Michel Pignolet de Montéclair, Marin Marais, and Henry Purcell wrote a great deal of music that connects us with early-modern sensibilities of the supernatural via the legends of classical mythology.

Building on the popularity of last season’s performance of Bach’s complete motets, the superb vocalists of the Washington Bach Consort perform a program devoted to the genre of the Motet throughout history, from the Middle Ages to the present day.
