L’Harmonie des saisons:
Cantatas by J. S. Bach – BWV 162, 6 and 30
L’Harmonie des saisons is joining the presentation of the complete cantatas of J. S. Bach organized by the Arte Musica Foundation and the Bourgie Hall of the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts.
This prodigious corpus of sacred cantatas transcends the rigorism of the texts. The music of the master triumphs in an abundance of sumptuous choirs, an infinite variety of instrumental colors and a unique melodic depth.
2 performances:
- April 23, 2:30 pm at St-Patrick Church in MAGOG
IN REPLACEMENT of the Abbey of Saint-Benoît-du-Lac
