The Sebastians present Graupner & Graap: Kappelmeister Past and Present
Thursday, March 17, 2016, 7:30pm
Holy Trinity Lutheran Church, 3 West 65th Street (map)
The Sebastians are pleased to team up with baritone Michael Hix and organist Carson Cooman for an inventive journey through German music, past and present.
Two musical epochs -- Germany of the 17th century and today -- are brought together in this virtuosic program, which places the forgotten cantatas and instrumental works of Christoph Graupner (16831760) alongside modern organ works by Lothar Graap (b. 1933).
Tickets available online or at the door.
$40 General, $35 Seniors (65+), $15 Students (with valid ID)
