‘Vergnügen und Lust’
Three jubilant cantatas by Bach form the heart of this festive concert, with Gott ist unsre Zuversicht (BWV 197) as its radiant centerpiece—a wedding cantata filled with hope and promise, where love and faith go hand in hand. Alongside the monumental opening of Wir danken dir, Gott (BWV 29) and the serene trust expressed in Wer nur den lieben Gott lässt walten (BWV 93), this program unfolds in a celebration of joy, devotion, and baroque splendor. Bach at his most exuberant—for those who wish to revel in life in all its tonal richness.
