The Sebastians are thrilled to announce their 2016-17 season celebrating their namesake, J. S. Bach, with performances of some of his most beloved master works. The new season launches on Saturday, September 3rd at 7:30pm with the virtuosic Brandenburg Concerti at St. Paul's German Evangelical Lutheran Church. The season will also include a unique exploration of his Sonatas and Partitas for Solo Violin (Date & Venue TBD) and a spectacular production of Bach's St. John Passion with the singers of TENET on March 23rd and 25th, 2017 led from the organ by Sebastians artistic director Jeffrey Grossman at St. Paul's German Evangelical Lutheran Church.

They will honor Bach's great love of Vivaldi with a festive performance of Vivaldi's Four Seasons, with a newly-commissioned companion work by Tawnie Olson on December 17th at 7:30pm at All Angels' Church. Their season finale is an intimate treasure, featuring selections from Bach's Musical Offering and works by his contemporaries, Telemann and Handel on May 13th at the same location.

Every year, the Sebastians connect with audiences through dynamic and vital performances of music of the baroque and classical eras. Hailed as "everywhere sharp-edged and engaging," the Sebastians are known for their "energetic... youthful, vigorous performance style..." and have been called New York's "leading young early-music ensemble" (The New York Times).

Tickets are $40 general, $35 seniors, and $15 students with the exception of St. John Passion, which will be priced by section. Subscriptions are available now at a 30% discount here to get all 5 concerts for $150 ($220 regularly).
