IBO CONCERT

Incomprehensible Light: Bach and the Prophet Simeon

Sunday, February 1, 4 p.m.,* Sanctuary

*Pre-concert chat at 3 p.m.

Co-led by Indianapolis Baroque Orchestra (IBO) concertmaster Adriane Post and St. Paul’s Director of Music Brad Hughley,** this concert features J. S. Bach’s Cantata “Ich habe genug” BWV 82 for solo bass and the chorale cantata “Mit Fried und Freud,” BWV 125. The cantatas share a common theme and occasion for composition: The Presentation of Christ in the Temple, where the aged Simeon utters the canticle Nunc dimittis (“Lord, now lettest thou thy servant depart in peace”). To round out the concert, Post and oboist will perform Bach’s exquisite Concerto in C minor for oboe and violin, BWV 1060R.

**In collaboration with the Indianapolis Baroque Orchestra; with JESSE BLUMBERG, baritone, and PRISCILLA HERREID, oboe; Geoffrey Williams, countertenor; Blake Beckemeyer, tenor; and choristers of St. Paul’s Choir.
