Seraphic Fire presents Enlightenment Festival: Life | Death
February 19, 2023 @ 4:00 pm - 6:00 pm
PATRICK DUPRE QUIGLEY, CONDUCTOR
During an age of high mortality, Johann Sebastian Bach experienced the stark and tenuous nature of life and death firsthand. As a result, Bach’s music of human existence and death is, unsurprisingly, probing and profound. Seraphic Fire sings two of Bach’s haunting cantatas on death, and Reginald Mobley is featured in the solo alto cantata Vergnügte Ruh in this musical evening of inspiration and reflection.
PROGRAM TO INCLUDE:
Johann Sebastian Bach: Vergnügte Ruh, beliebte Seelenlust, BWV 170
Johann Sebastian Bach: Herr, gehe nicht ins Gericht mit deinem Knecht, BWV 105
