VOX LUMINIS

On Thursday evening, October 20, 7:00 pm, the world-class Early Music ensemble, Vox Luminis, on tour from Belgium with 17 musicians (10 singers, 7 instrumentalists), will perform Motets of the Bach Family.

Here is the rich program featuring music by Johann Sebastian Bach, Dietrich Buxtehude, and members of Bach’s family connected with the German town of Arnstadt, where several generations of Bachs contributed to musical life for more than 200 years:

• Heinrich Bach: Ich danke dir Gott

• Johann Michael Bach: Die Furcht des Herren

• Dietrich Buxtehude: Herzlich Lieb hab ich dich, O Herr

• Johann Christoph Bach: Herr, wende dich und sei mir gnadig

• Johann Sebastian Bach: Cantata; Christ lag in Todesbanden BWV 4

The concert will be approximately 1 hour 15 minutes with no intermission.

Join us for light refreshments after the concert, and meet the performers.
