Bach Cantata Series Begins!

Two of Bach’s most intimate solo cantatas—Ich bin vergnügt mit meinem Glücke, BWV 84, and Vergnügte Ruh, beliebte Seelenlust, BWV 170—explore themes of contentment, contemplation, and spiritual reflection. Selections from Handel’s exquisite Italian chamber duets, later transformed into Messiah, offer a fascinating glimpse into the composer’s creative process and the journey from private music-making to public masterpiece.
