Los Angeles Chamber Orchestra (LACO) Concertmaster and Director of Chamber Music Margaret Batjer leads an all-Bach performance featuring bass Thomas Bauer as part of the Orchestra’s engaging Baroque series. Bauer, who sings with “sheer virile force” and “emotional intensity” (Opernglas), performs Bach’s Ich Habe Genug, a reflection on gratitude and the power of perspective. The program includes three other inventive gems by the towering composer – Bach’s Orchestral Suite No. 1; Concerto for Flute, Violin and Harpsichord; and Concerto for Three Violins.
LACO’s Baroque series features smaller groups of the Orchestra’s musicians and guest artists on chamber masterworks from the Baroque Era (1600 to 1750). The music is characterized by expressive and soaring melodies, distinctive harmonies, musical flourishes, and stylistic diversity.
