Join the Capitol Hill Chorale as we begin our 33rd season with concerts featuring the works of Johann Sebastian Bach, Johann Christoph Friedrich Bach, and Michael Praetorius. We are also pleased to be joined by a full baroque orchestra led by concert master Dr. John Moran.
The program features two complementary settings of the German Lutheran hymn “Wachet auf, ruft uns die Stimme,” which translates to “Awake, the voice is calling us” and recalls the parable of the Ten Virgins from the Gospel of Matthew. All three composers interpreted the hymn and story; we will share the settings composed by Johann Christoph Friedrich Bach and Michael Praetorius.
The Chorale will also perform Johann Sebastian Bach’s Magnificat. The baroque orchestra will perform Arcangelo Corelli’s Christmas Concert.
Our performances will be held on Saturday, December 6th at 7:30 p.m. and Sunday, December 7th at 4 p.m. at the Lutheran Church of the Reformation (212 East Capitol Street NE).
