Too rarely do we hear from the treasury of Bach’s Cantatas, but tonight you will experience two of his greatest including “Weinen, Klagen, Sorgen, Zagen” which served as the model for the Crucifixus of his monumental B Minor Mass, as well as the rarely-performed and breathtakingly beautiful setting of the Stabat Mater by Bach’s contemporary Agostino Steffani.
