Bach Cantatas and Concertos

Whidbey Island Music Festival Presents:
Bach Cantatas and Concerts

Bach’s cantatas are an endless source of inspiration, comfort and joy. We live in challenging times, and listening to Bach makes everything better. Join us for an afternoon with America’s leading baroque oboist, Debra Nagy, and two renowned Bach singers, Tyler Duncan and Clara Rottsolk, accompanied by a stellar band of baroque specialists. In these cantatas, we’ll invite you to sing along in the chorales. Tekla and Debra conclude the program with Bach’s beloved concerto for oboe and violin.
