Event Details

Bay Area Classical Harmonies (B.A.C.H.) presents the rarely performed Brockes Passion by G.F. Handel at the Saint Mary Magdalen Church to celebrate the weekend of Palm Sunday on March 27th.

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.

Bay Area Classical Harmonies



Called by some "the most versatile group in the Bay Area," BACH's impressive range of repertoire has included cantatas, symphonies and masses. The Opera division, incorporating stage professionals and up-and-comers, first performed at the Julia Morgan Center for the Arts, presenting a concert version of Mozart's "Le Nozze di Figaro" in December 2000. Since its inception in 1998 by graduate and undergraduate students of the Music Department of UC Berkeley, BACH has cultivated young musical talent through the performance of great classical works for audiences in the Bay Area and beyond. The group attained non-profit status in May 2002, promoting professionalism and providing tax benefits to its donors.
