ABOUT THE EVENT
J.S. Bach, known as the great master, wrote more than 200 cantatas, and UMD Choral Activities aims to sing them all in this series of short performances led by conductors in the graduate program. This performance will feature Bereite die Wege, bereite die Bahn (Prepare the paths, prepare the road), BWV 132, which reflects the testimony of John the Baptist.
