Celebrate with us! It will be a real party, with beautiful music, birthday cakes, candles, champagne, and more. Previewing our April performances of Bach's St. John Passion, both the choir and the audience will sing chorales from this masterpiece. Rodney Gehrke will showcase some of Bach's organ works, and once again, you'll have a chance to choose what our soloists perform — Arias by Request! The singers will preview several selections, and the audience bids to hear its favorites.

This event is a fundraiser for the California Bach Society, and all proceeds will go towards bringing audiences more of Bach's music. Invite your friends and order your tickets by January 21 for a special afternoon.

We feel very fortunate to have the wonderful soprano Ann Moss and tenor Brian Thorsett join Artistic Director and counter-tenor Paul Flight to present a selection of Bach's loveliest arias. Ann Moss enjoys an active career in chamber music, opera, oratorio and recital performance. Recently she was a soloist in Schubert's Mass in G with American Bach Soloists, Haydn's Paukenmesse with Oakland Symphony Chorus, Kuhnau's Magnificat and Zelenka's Requiem with Chora Nova, and Handel's Dixit Dominus with Bay Choral Guild. This fall, Bay Area audiences have seen Brian Thorsett in the roles of Mercury, Spirit and The Sailor in Purcell's Dido and Aeneas with Philharmonia Baroque Orchestra. Brian's concert engagements have included Evangelist in both Bach's St. John and St. Matthew Passions, Rossini's Stabat Mater, and Haydn's Lord Nelson and Theresa Masses.

Tickets are $25 in advance, $30 at the door. You may purchase tickets at the advance price until 5 pm on January 21.
