PERFORMANCE
Bach Interactions: A Dynamic Performance & Learning Experience
About the Series
Nine virtual programs offer some of the finest works in the cantata and oratorio repertory. You’ll enjoy the Washington Bach Consort as you’ve never heard them before, but you’ll also gain revelations and insights into the music itself coming from our two leading Bach experts, Michael Marissen and Daniel R. Melamed. Supported in part by a grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities, Bach Interactions is a new digital concert experience offering the expressive heights of Bach’s musical language as well as the story behind its creation.
The series features three renowned cantatas monthly, Wachet auf, BWV 140, Aus der Tiefen, BWV 131, and Nun komm der Heiden Heiland, BWV 61, followed by all six parts of Bach’s beloved Christmas Oratorio, BWV 248.
