byEarly Music Vancouver presents its first ever Vancouver Bach Festival, taking place in the heart of the city at the Christ Church Cathedral this August 2nd to 12th, 2016. The festival offers local enthusiasts a veritable ‘Best of’ collection of the German composer’s masterworks, from exquisite chamber music to monumental orchestral undertakings. This is also the first summertime classic music festival of its kind since Music Fest ended in 2013.
Vancouver Bach Festival
Headlining the programme will be Bach’s crowning achievement – the Mass in B Minor at the Chan Centre on August 5th at 7:30pm. Led by esteemed conductor Alexander Weimann, the performance will feature Montreal’s Arion Baroque Orchestra, and eight internationally-renowned Bach specialists as soloists. This will be EMV’s first presentation of the Mass in B Minor, which will come to Vancouver following its tour in Quebec and Ontario.
Among intimate recital offerings, innovative Jazz pianist Dan Tepfer will find the common ground between Baroque and Jazz with his New York Times praised Goldberg Variations/Variations; Beiliang Zhu, who recently won the International Bach competition in Leipzig, will perform the famed Cello Suites; and esteemed harpsichordist Davitt Moroney will play The Art of the Fugue. The festival will conclude with a performance of Bach’s Orchestral Suites led by Monica Huggett.

Would love to see and enjoy this as Bach is one of my favorite composers. A life is empty and hollow without the sounds of Bach to give it significance. Time slows down for a period.
