For the past 8 years, a project has been quietly whirring away in one of Sydney’s oldest concert venues in Darlinghurst, the Big Schoolroom at Sydney Grammar School.<\/p>\n

In 2005, the Sydneian Bach Choir embarked on\u00a0 project to perform every single one of J S Bach’s\u00a0200\u00a0extant cantatas. This month, that project finally comes to an end with a festival of the music of Bach culminating in the final cantatas concert.<\/p>\n

The concerts have been conducted by Chris Shepard who inaugurated the project and taken over by Greg Platt. Soloists over the years have included sopranos Belinda Montgomery, Mina Kanaridis, Josie Ryan and Jodie McGuren; mezzo-sopranos Jennu Duck-Chong and\u00a0Jo Burton, counter-tenors Derek Ward and\u00a0Timothy Chung, tenors Simon Gilkes, Nathan Gilkes and\u00a0Pascal Herrington and basses Timothy Collins and\u00a0Alex Knight. Also performing have been specialist\u00a0Baroque instrumentalists and choristers, some of whom have participated in every concert of the project. During this musical odyssey, the choir\u00a0travelled to Leipzig on its Bach pilgrimage and to Venice where it participated in Vespers in the Basilica of San Marco in Venice. In Boston, they attended an exclusive lecture delivered by Bach scholat Christoph Wolff.<\/p>\n

In the\u00a0first concerts the Cantatas BWV 47, 109, 115 and 180 <\/em>will be performed. In the second concert you can hear the Cantatas BWV 5, 70, 139 and 140 (\u201cWachet Auf\u201d).<\/em><\/p>\n

Tickets:\u00a0For Sunday 2 June,\u00a0 tickets can be bought at the door ($25\/15).<\/p>\n
