In every culture and land, music is a part of special events. One of the great masters of celebratory music is none other than Johann Sebastian Bach!
Bach wrote more than 300 cantatas, of which 200 survive, and a special subset of these were for special celebratory events rather than religious occasions. For these festivities, Bach composed many of his most spirited secular works—including Cantatas 201 and 207. These jubilant works—full of delightful wit, virtuosity, and musical pageantry—remind us that universities have long been gathering places for ideas, creativity, and community.
Join Maestro Jos van Veldhoven as he leads the Oregon Bach Festival’s esteemed soloists with the Berwick Academy for this joyous evening of music!
We have a special tradition of picnics before concerts at Reed College’s Kaul Auditorium. Reed’s catering service, Bon Appétit, offers food and drink service beginning at 6 PM. Alternately, you can bring your own picnic, but alcoholic beverages must be purchased on site.
Presented in collaboration with Oregon Bach Festival
