Passion and Persecution: The Music of Bach, the Gospel of John, and Religious Intolerance
A Community Discussion presented by the San Francisco Bach Choir
J.S. Bach's Passion According to St. John stands alone as a musical masterwork, yet reflects a dark history.
In advance of our performances in May, the SF Bach Choir will present a panel of four scholars who will illuminate the work's historical and musical context, and will explore the impact of anti-Semitism during Bach's time and beyond.
Attendees will be invited to join the conversation following the panel discussion.
Panelists:
Tom Hall (Moderator), Former music director of the Baltimore Choral Arts Society
Jonathan Sheehan, Co-founder and co-director of the Berkeley Center for the Study of Religion, UC-Berkeley
Kirsi I. Stjerna, Professor of Lutheran History and Theology at Pacific Lutheran Theological Seminary in Berkeley
John Efron, Koret Professor of Jewish History at U.C. Berkeley
