Bach Vespers at Holy Trinity to Celebrate Holidays with Bach's MAGNIFICAT, 12/14

On December 14th at 5:00 PM, music director Donald Meineke and the multiple Grammy-nominated Bach Choir and Players present Bach's much-loved Magnificat in D Major BWV 243 alongside the lesser-known Nun lob, mein Seel, den Herren of Heinrich Schütz. The Magnificat, long a staple of the holiday season, will feature soloists from within the ranks of the Bach Choir and Players, made up of some of New York City's finest baroque musicians. This festive holiday tradition is not to be missed!

Bach Vespers at Holy Trinity was the first organization in the Western Hemisphere to present the cantatas and other works of Johann Sebastian Bach and his contemporaries within their intended sacred context. Bach Vespers offers performances open to all through a free-will offering every Sunday evening at 5:00 PM from October to May and features the renown Bach Choir and Players on period instruments within the most authentic setting to hear the music of Bach outside of Leipzig, Germany.

Bach Vespers at Holy Trinity are free, open the public, and made possible through freewill offering and the generous support of individual and corporate sponsors. Holy Trinity is located at the corner of Central Park West and 65th street in the Lincoln Center neighborhood.
