BACH-CIRCLE: CHRISTMAS ORATORIOS AND CONTEMPORARY FEMALE VOICES, BRINGING HEAVEN TO EARTH…
Great Barrington, 4pm

Sunday, December 29, 2024 at 4 pm at Saint James Place ~ 352 Main Street, Great Barrington, MA 01230

This program includes Johann Sebastian Bach’s “Ehre sei dir, Gott, gesungen“ (Let honor be sung to you, O God), the fifth cantata of his Christmas Oratorio. This cantata is about the journey of the wise men and the symbolism of light winning over darkness. An important composer in Bach’s circle was his mentor Dietrich Buxtehude, the renowned North German organist and cantor. His New Year’s, and Johann Schelle’s Advent, cantatas, Johann Rosenmüller’s Magnificat, and Philipp Erlebach’s Christmas cantata are followed by a work of the later Jeremias du Grain, a student of Bach’s close friend Georg Philipp Telemann. Several of these cantatas are scored for orchestra with trumpets, which symbolized royalty and Christ’s status as the “King of Kings.” In contrast to this stand intimate, unaccompanied choral works by the award-winning contemporary North American female composers Emily Drum, MaryAnne Muglia, and Christine Donkin.


The performers are Crescendo Chorus, Paulina Francisco, soprano, Nicholas Tamagna, countertenor, Gene Stenger, tenor, Douglas Williams, bass-baritone, and Crescendo Period Instrument Orchestra, led by Christine Gevert.

 

This concert will also be performed the previous day, Saturday, December 28, 2024 at 4 pm at Trinity Church ~ 484 Lime Rock Rd., Lakeville, CT 06039
 

Support for these concerts has been provided by the Connecticut State Department of Economic and Community Development/Connecticut Office of the Arts (COA) from the Connecticut State Legislature, and NBT Bank. We also thank WMNR Fine Arts Radio for their ongoing support.

OHAN BREIDING: BELLY OF A GLACIER
North Adams

In 2019, Iceland constructed the first memorial to mark the death of its Okjökull glacier. Since then, funerals have been held around the world to mark the melting of glacier bodies. These rituals of collective grief amplify the current state of climate emergency while expressing the intimate entanglement of human and environmental well-being.

Consisting of an experimental documentary film and a photographic installation, Ohan Breiding’s Belly of a Glacier connects this act of mourning to ongoing practices of preservation that strive to protect the ice — a material that contains both remnants of the past and the conditions of a future world. Breiding captures the efforts of the residents of Obergoms, Switzerland, to drape the nearby Rhône Glacier with thermal blankets to insulate it from rising temperatures. Despite these hope-filled actions of ecological care, scientists predict the Rhône will have fully melted by 2050.
