Crescendo presents

Baroque Masterworks by J.S. Bach and contemporaries

Crescendo, the premier early music chorus and orchestra of Connecticut’s Northwest Corner, announces its November 12^th and 13^th concerts—"Bach: Darkness to Light." In addition to the headlining pieces by Johann Sebastian Bach, the well-known motets for double choir "Komm, Jesu, komm" and "Singet dem Herrn," Crescendo will feature works by composers close to the great master. Among them will be two U.S. premieres of cantatas by Christoph Graupner and Wilhelm Friedemann Bach.

The Crescendo Choir, Vocal Ensemble, Period Instrument Orchestra and soloists will perform. As she has in the past, Ms. Gevert showcases noted early music specialists who lend their expertise to Crescendo. Among them are Soprano Julianne Baird, considered "one of the most extraordinary voices in the service of early music that this generation has produced. She possesses a natural musicianship which engenders singing of supreme expressive beauty." (New York Times) 

• The concerts will be held at the First Congregational Church, 251 Main St., Great Barrington, MA at 6 p.m. Saturday, November 12 and at Trinity Church, 484 Lime Rock Rd., Lakeville, CT at 4 p.m. Sunday, November 13. A talk about the music will be given by scholar Juliet Mattila, beginning 30 minutes before each concert.
• Tickets are $40 (premium seating), $30 (general admission) and $10 for children 18 and under. A group rate is available for the Great Barrington concert. For tickets and information, call 860-435-4866 or go to www.worldclassmusic.org where you can now purchase tickets online. 

Now in its ninth year, Crescendo is based in Lakeville, CT.
