Ensemble Musical Offerings Current Offering
The Coffee & Wedding Cantatas:
Social Commentary of the Day
Fri, April 13, 2012 at 7:00 pm / Sat, April 14, 2012 at
8:00 pm
Drinking coffee,
especially by women, was considered
"verboten" in Bach's world. Ensemble
Musical Offering sheds new light on this
social commentary, Schweigt stille,
plaudert nicht, BWV 211. The program will also include one of three Hochzeitskantaten (wedding cantatas). BWV 202, Weichet nur, betreubte Schatten (Hence, dismal shadows) was most probably written for Anna Magdalena, the composer's second wife who was a more than competent soprano in her own right.
Bach's brilliant Double
Harpsichord Concerto in C, BWV 1061,
will be performed by Artistic Director
Joan Parsley and guest artist John
Chappell Stowe. The performances will be followed by an RSVP wedding reception….with coffee, of course!
