Capital City Concerts concludes its 2021-2022 season with a large ensemble performance "Oh, for the Love of Bach" on Saturday, May 21 at 7:30PM at the Bethany United Church of Christ in Montpelier.
The performance will include a small orchestra performing J.S. Bach's Brandenburg Concerto #5 in D major, BWV 1050, as well as the Sonata in G major for cello and piano, BWV 1027, and a number of arias featuring soprano Hyunah Yu, known internationally for her tender and unerringly appropriate interpretations of Bach.
The instrumentalists are favorite musicians at Capital City Concerts and include cellist Edward Arron, bassist Lou Kosma, pianist Jeewon Park, violinists Theodore Arm & Mary Gibson, violist Stefanie Taylor, and flutist Karen Kevra, who is the founder and Artistic Director of Capital City Concerts.
Kevra explained her thoughts on the programming, "We missed the concerts terribly when the pandemic forced us to shut down, but none more than our annual Bach concerts. Audience members wrote to me to say they were yearning to hear Bach. So I chose pieces in which Bach's depth of emotion and the theme of love really come across. Even the Brandenburg Concerto #5 fits--the slow movement is entitled "Affetuoso" or "with affection." It's impossible to make sense of world events right now but Bach's music is a transcendent respite."
