The New Canon Chamber Collective will present From Bach to Bonds, a compelling musical journey that bridges the classical and contemporary worlds. This performance will take place at the Sanctuary of the Arts in Coral Gables on Saturday, April 19 at 7 p.m.
Fusion of Classical, Contemporary Voices
The concert will feature selections from Johann Sebastian Bach’s St. Matthew Passion alongside Margaret Bonds’ Simon Bore the Cross. These works, though centuries apart, share profound themes of faith and perseverance. Bach’s St. Matthew Passion is a monumental choral masterpiece that delves into the Passion of Christ, while Bonds’ Simon Bore the Cross offers a powerful reflection on the same biblical event, highlighting the African American experience and spiritual resilience.
The New Canon Chamber Collective, known for its innovative programming, aims to illuminate the connections between these two composers, showcasing the enduring power of sacred music across different eras and cultures.
