Bach wrote more than 200 astonishing cantatas, of which only a handful are regularly performed today<\/p>\n<p>Ivars Taurins has combed through all 200 to hand-pick a few hidden gems\u2014choruses, arias, and recitatives\u2014that we don\u2019t hear as often in concert.<\/p>\n<p>Our Bach Celebration magnifies the composer\u2019s mastery and genius, creating a gallery of aural contrasts that range from a jubilant chorus with trumpets and timpani from Cantata 11 (the \u201cAscension Oratorio\u201d), to the hauntingly beautiful aria \u201cDie seele ruht\u201d from Cantata 127.<\/p>\n<p>Joining the orchestra and choir are two vocal soloists known for their exquisite Bach interpretations. Soprano <strong>Myriam Leblanc<\/strong>, with her voice \u201clike a brandy distillate, absolutely transparent\u201d (Le Devoir), appeared most recently with Tafelmusik in our 2024 Handel Messiah and is featured in Choral Splendours in March 2025.<\/p>\n<p>The Grammy Award-winning tenor <strong>James Reese<\/strong> made an impressive Tafelmusik debut in Messiah in 2023.
