| Sonoma County Bach Choir | The Sonoma County Bach Choir is a group of 50-60 singers largely from Sonoma County specializing in the music of the Baroque period, with special emphasis on the works of Johann Sebastian Bach. In fall 2009, the Bach Choir performed in two separate Santa Rosa Symphony productions, featuring music of Mozart (Requiem, Masonic Cantata and Ave Verum Corpus), Beethoven (Ninth Symphony) and Stravinsky (Symphony of Psalms). In the spring of 2010, the group was featured in two performances which were part of our "Bach in Leipzig" early music festival, the first titled Bach and the German Motet, the second titled Jahrgang II: Bach's second Leipzig Cantata Cycle, which featured choruses and chorales from 12 cantatas. |
