2012 Festival July 14- July 28
The Carmel Bach Festival celebrates the works, inspiration, and ongoing influence of J.S. Bach worldwide by immersing audiences in a festival experience integrating music, education, and ideas.
The Mass in B Minor
July 14, 2012
J.S. Bach assembled many of his own favorite works to create the Mass in B Minor-with instrumental and vocal solos, duets and soaring choruses, all brought together in the most uplifting masterpiece of Bach's career. Part of the Festival repertoire since the 1930s, this is a grand scale performance using the full forces of the Festival Chorale, Chorus and Orchestra. Paul Goodwin, conductor.

The Power of Music, Old and New
July 15, 2012
The exoticism of Persia is depicted in Handel's triumphant oratorio, Alexander's Feast (or The Power of Music), which examines the power of music to provoke desire, sorrow, heroism and irrational violence, before ultimately portraying music as the harmonization of human passion with universal order. It is fitting that Bach's best known orchestral suite is paired here along with the distinctive voice of American composer Curt Cacioppo, whose commissioned work is hidden within the fabric of the evening. Paul Goodwin, conductor.
