HOLDING SPACE

Episode 8 of #BACH52 is now live!

This episode is the first of a mini series about Boston’s Emmanuel Music and Emmanuel Church - a very special place for the music of #Bach.

The episode features are really moving interview with Emmanuel church’s Rector, the Reverend Pamela Werntz, who speaks beautifully about how Bach’s music helps hold a space for an incredibly diverse community at Emmanuel, and why she feels the Cantatas are an integral part of each Sunday service.

The featured aria is taken from BWV 156 and features the San Francisco Conservatory of Music baroque ensemble and soprano Chea Kang.
