Areté Vocal Ensemble: Bach and Beyond (Part II)

The innovative professional ensemble of vocal artists concludes its third season with the second of two concerts combining the timeless cantatas of J.S. Bach with music by contemporary composers. The goal of Bach and Beyond is to make a relevant connec­tion between the cantatas of Bach and today’s world by juxtaposing the works with new music by living composers.

This concert pairs one of Bach’s cantatas with a work composed for Areté by New Mexico composer Bradley Ellingboe. Also featured is the music of composer David Lang, 2008 Pulitzer Prize winner.

Through the combined power of words and music, an uncompromising attention to musical detail and a passion for live performance, Areté offers audiences a joyful, moving, educational and soul-nurturing experience. Wyant Morton conducts.
