One of the world’s foremost Baroque ensembles, Bach Collegium Japan and their pioneering founder and music director Masaaki Suzuki, bring their celebrated artistry to 92NY for the first time with a glorious program of Bach and Telemann.

The superb baritone and frequent collaborator of the ensemble Roderick Williams joins for two selections, including Bach’s stunning “Ich habe genung,” BWV 82, one of Bach’s greatest pieces for voice. Bach Collegium Japan’s motto is “Bach’s music transmitted to the future.” That they succeed in delivering this in performances on Baroque period instruments speaks to Suzuki’s genius and vision, and the incomparably fresh artistry of this extraordinary ensemble.

Concert available for viewing online for 72 hours from time of broadcast.
