When the romantic composers discovered Bach, their own music was forever changed. That historic rediscovery is celebrated in Da Camera’s concert
After Bach.
Composer Felix Mendelssohn led the Bach revival of the 19
th century that brought the Baroque master’s music into the concert repertoire. The first half of the concert includes several Bach solo piano pieces and selected choral works by Mendelssohn. The second half of the concert features Franz Liszt’s rarely-performed
The Way of the Cross, a unique and powerful religious work for solo piano and chorus. A collaboration with
Houston Chamber Choir, Robert Simpson
, Artistic Director, the concert features
Awadagin Pratt, piano.
