Bach-Fest
Saturday, April 17, 2004 at 8 pm in Disney Hall

The Master Chorale joins forces with the Los Angeles Chamber Orchestra for a third collaboration, as the great German conductor Helmuth Rilling leads definitive interpretations of three cantatas by Johann Sebastian Bach — the Pentecost Cantata 68, the soul-stirring Cantata 105, and the justly-celebrated call to eternal peace Cantata 140. Margaret Batjer and Allan Vogel are featured in the Double Concerto for violin and oboe.
Internationally recognized as one of the pre-eminent authorities on the music of J.S. Bach and his contemporaries, Rilling directs the International Bach Academy in Stuttgart and is founder of the Oregon Bach Festival where many LA Chamber Orchestra musicians play every summer.
Concert sponsors: This project is supported in part by an award from the National Endowment for the Arts, which believes that a great nation deserves great art. Marcus Ullmann is sponsored by the E. Nakamichi Foundation.
