John V. Sinclair, conductor • Bach Festival Choir and Orchestra
Mary Wilson, soprano
Our fall concert will take you on an exciting musical journey, beginning with a rarely performed exuberant choral work, Regina coeli, K. 127, written by a youthful Mozart, and moving on to Beethoven's widely acclaimed Symphony No. 5 in c minor. Samuel Barber’s lushly textured work for soprano and orchestra, Knoxville: Summer of 1915, is based on the poem of James Agee which expresses a child’s feeling of wonder and loneliness. And finally, Morten Lauridsen’s Lux Aeterna is a work of serenity and hope. Wall Street Journal critic Terry Teachout described the work as “direct, heartfelt, and as sweetly austere as the luminous sound of church bells at night.” This is a perfect pandemic recovery program to bring joy, hope, and peace. Popular Bach Festival Society guest soloist soprano Mary Wilson joins the Bach Festival Choir and Orchestra.
Sponsored by a generous gift from M. Elizabeth Brothers in Loving Memory Of Marguerite Taylor-Lindsay Brothers and Sydney Inman Brothers.
