During the May 16 event, Chicago’s North Park University Chamber Singers and the Bach Week Festival Chorus, conducted by Julia Davids, North Park professor of music and director of choral activities, will sing six Bach chorales. Each chorale will be followed by a prerecorded performance of the corresponding organ prelude, played on the organ at Boston’s historic Trinity Church. Sharing keyboard duties are Bach Week’s Webster, music director and organist at Trinity Church, and his colleague Colin Lynch, the church’s associate director of music and organist.
The May 21 program includes Bach’s organ Toccata in F Major, BWV 540; Telemann’s Concerto in G Major for Viola and Orchestra, TGWV51:G9; and Bach’s Concerto for Harpsichord and Orchestra in D Minor, BWV 1052; and Brandenburg Concerto No. 6 in B-flat Major, BWV 1051.
