G.F. Handel's Brockes Passion
Bay Area Classical Harmonies (B.A.C.H.) presents the rarely performed
Brockes Passion by G.F. Handel to celebrate the weekend of Palm Sunday.
Barthold Heinrich Brockes published a German oratorio libretto on the
setting of the passion story. This work was one of the first passion
oratorios, a free, poetic meditation on the passion story without the use
of an evangelist character. Many baroque composers have written a passion
oratorio based on this setting but the most famous setting is by G.F.
Handel.
BACH founder/director Andrew J. Chung will lead a baroque BACH Ensemble
with singers and musicians comprised of the Bay Area's most talented up
and coming musicians, along with professionals well known to local
audiences.
The concert will be free for children 12.
Saturday, March 27th @7:30PM
Saint Mary Magdalen Church - Berkeley
2005 Berryman Street, Berkeley
