Tenor soloist - To Dresden with Love - Bach & Vivaldi The American Bach Soloists Saturday, August 4, 2018 at 8:00PM St. Mark's Lutheran Church 1111 O'Farrell St. San Francisco, CA 94109 A part of the American Bach Soloists ninth annual summer music festival, this concert will feature music that was specifically written for the Dresden court, its rulers, and its orchestra, but composed elsewhere. The program includes Vivaldi’s Dixit Dominus and Bach’s Cantata 215 Preise dein glücke gesegnetes Sachsen. _______________________________________ Tenor soloist - Aus der Tiefen rufe ich, Herr zu dir BWV 131 - J.S. Bach The Advent Project Saturday, November 10, 2018 at 4:00PM More information coming soon. _______________________________________ Herault & Crates - Sapho - Gounod Sunday, November 18, 2018 at 6:00PM Lisner Auditorium 730 21st St. 2700 F St NW, Washington, DC 20566 Matthew makes his debut with Washington Concert Opera in Charles Gounod's Sapho. Unusual for its time, Gounod's first opera rejected traditional elements of French grand opera in favor of a deeply psychological drama. Sapho centers around intense, competing love affairs - developing within the context of the ancient Greek Olympics - all while the tantalizing possibility of a political coup bubbles just beneath the surface.

Bach Sunday, April 19, 2019 at 7:30PM Bradley Hills Presbyterian Church 6601 Bradley Blvd Bethesda, MD 20817 Bach's St. John Passion remains one of the most deeply affecting and riveting masterworks in this genre. It is a rich, highly dramatic portrayal of the Biblical passion story using soloists, chorus, and a colorful Baroque orchestra, featuring rarely heard archaic instruments including the lute and viola da gamba. The radiant purity of sound in this emotionally expressive work shines in poignant arias, powerful choruses, and gentle, reflective chorales. Free performance, no tickets required. _______________________________________ Tenor soloist - Wir mussen durch viel Trubsal, BWV 146 - J.S. Bach Monday, May 6, 2019 at 12:00PM St. Peter’s on Capitol Hill 313 2nd Street SE, Washington, DC 20003 Tuesday, May 7, 2019 at 12:00PM Church of the Epiphany 1317 G Street NW, Washington, DC 20005 Free performance, no tickets required. _______________________________________ |
