The Harvard-Radcliffe Chorus, a college, university and community chorus presents Music of the Reformation by Johann Sebastian Bach. Since October 31, 2017 is the 500th Anniversary of the Reformation it is fitting that we dedicate our Fall Concert to the celebration of one of Luther’s most ardent warriors, Johann Sebastian Bach. Indeed, it has been said that Bach’s works are “the Reformation set to music.”


The Harvard-Radcliffe Chorus will be presenting three of J.S. Bach’s works this season, a mass and two cantatas:
Johann Sebastian Bach: Music of the Reformation
Mass in G major, (BWV 236),
Ein feste Burg ist unser Gott (BWV 80),
and
Nun danket alle Gott (BWV 192)


Edward Elwyn Jones, Art Director
Gund University Organist and Choirmaster in the
Memorial Church of Harvard University, conducting


Cassandra Extavour, soprano, Mary Gerbi, mezzo-soprano,
Matthew Anderson, tenor, and David McFerrin, baritone
Accompanied by early music orchestra on period instruments


Tickets available at Harvard Box Office, from chorus members, and at the door on the evening of the performance
