Sydney Cantata Project - Faith in a Passing World
Description
Faith in a Passing World
The Sydney Cantata Project opens its 2026 season with a performance of three cantatas by Johann Sebastian Bach: BWV 176, Es ist ein trotzig und verzagt Ding, BWV 26, Ach wie flüchtig, ach wie nichtig, and BWV 58, Ach Gott, wie manches Herzeleid. Written within a few years of each other, these works address the instability of the human heart, the experience of suffering, and the transience of earthly life.
The concert is performed by choir and orchestra on period instruments, including three Baroque oboes, as Bach specifies. The program continues the Project’s commitment to historically informed performance and to the core of Bach’s music seen in his cantatas.
We look forward to seeing you there!
