This is where I’ve been spending large chunks of my time the past few weeks, preparing for Saturday’s Bach-fest at the WCFSO. I’ll be leading the concert from this lovely harpsichord, built by North Carolina maker Richard Kingston and graciously loaned to us by the UNI School of Music. Among the many gems featured on the program is the piece I was working on over the weekend – Bach’s festive Cantata BWV 63, composed for Christmas 1714. [We are performing the duet ‘Ruft und fleht den Himmel an’ with Iowa vocalists Jeff Brich and Elisabeth Bieber.]

Stay tuned for more posts related to this concert; in the meantime hear the complete repertoire on Spotify.
