Featuring Bach’s powerful motet BWV 228, “Fürchte dich nicht” (Be not afraid), this program journeys through the dark nights of the soul to emerge in radiant hope and love. Experience the comforting embrace of Cantata BWV 6 “Jesu bleib bei uns” (Jesus, stay with us) and the resolute faith of Cantata BWV 97 “In allen meinen Taten” (In all my deeds). The lyrical voice of the oboe d’amore adds layers of tender reflection, reminding us that even in uncertain times, love’s light prevails.
