Tiny Concerts: Johann Christoph Bach

  • St. Paul's Chapel 209 Broadway New York, NY, 10007 United States (map)

Leave the city’s chaos behind when you enter the jewel-box Chapel of All Saints for a 45-minute program of early music. This installment in our Tiny Concerts series features the cantata Mein Freundin, du bist schön, written by Johann Sebastian’s older cousin, Johann Christoph Bach. Most likely performed at the wedding of Johann Sebastian’s brother, the work is a profoundly beautiful setting of love poetry from the Song of Songs — and one example of the prodigious talent that preceded J. S. Bach and ran through generations of the Bach family.
