Psalms, Songs, and Sonnets: Feel the Groove--from Baroque to Jazz
ABOUT THE PERFORMANCE: Want to experience the energy and passion of baroque and jazz music together? With marvelous melodies built around texts from sacred and secular literature, Dr. Bach and Singers in Accord will take you on a choral journey to feel the groove. Delight in the harmonic, rhythmic, and improvisational drive shared by these two musical genres that originated more than 200 years apart.
