Join us for a preview of polychoral splendor of Bach in the City’s Inaugural Concert: Bach and the Venetians. Bach in the City is a new musical organization based at St. Vincent de Paul Church in Chicago. The primary purpose of this new enterprise, successor to the beloved Bach Week Festival in Evanston, is to present the choral, orchestral and chamber music of Johann Sebastian Bach and other composers whose music would come to life in the splendid acoustical and visual setting of this historic church in the city’s Lincoln Park neighborhood.
