Baroque Lenten Vespers

Two solo cantatas -- Buxtehude's "Herzlich tut mich verlangen" (BuxWV 42) for soprano, and Bach's "Widerstehe doch der Sünde" (BWV 54) for counter-tenor, reflect upon the believer's suffering, temptation, and ultimate triumph over sin. 

The program features two contemporary works by renowned performers of sacred music -- the doleful exilic Psalm 137, "By the waters of Babylon," set stirringly by McNeil Robinson; and a short, celestial setting of "Jesu, meine Seelen Wonne" for voice and strings by the Bach Institute's Rudolph Lutz. 

No tickets required; seating is first-come, first-served. Arrive a few minutes early to hear the string prelude.
