ABOUT THE CONCERT

This year marks exactly 300 years since Cantata 147, famous for the choral “Jesus, Joy of Men”, was composed by Johann Sebastian Bach. The Bach Society Brasil celebrates the date by recreating in a concert the original experience in which the work was heard for the first time: original instruments from the Baroque era, in the acoustics of a church and with some of the greatest specialists in Bach today. Under the direction of Fernando Cordella, the Bach Brasil Ensemble will feature guest soloists from Switzerland, Austria, Italy and São Paulo. The thirty-fourth concert of the Bach Brasil series has the support of Goethe Institut, Basílica das Dores, EROICA music and Carangacci music.
