In its seventh year of existence, Bach@7 series offers two programs in the Fall and two in Winter-Spring, featuring choral, orchestral, solo and chamber works by J.S. Bach, his predecessors and followers.

The Book of Psalms are a cornerstone of of Jewish and Christian Worship and
have inspired some of the most important musical works in the Western Art Canon. The Psalms, written over a period of about five centuries represent every aspect of the human psyche from thanksgiving to lamentation to
words of comfort.

This season, Choral Arts and the Philadelphia Bach Festival on its Bach@7 Series will explore various forms of Psalm settings from Gregorian chant to settings of the Renaissance to modern settings with a Bach Cantata that is based on one of psalms.
