The Civic Orchestra’s virtuosity is put on display, continuing its beloved annual tradition with an evening of J.S. Bach’s joyous and inventive music. The Brandenburg Concertos lift spirits with their pulsing rhythms, novel instrumental combinations and an electrifying harpsichord solo. Principal Conductor Ken-David Masur leads two Christmas cantatas that showcase Bach’s masterful writing for voices, here brought to life by the Chicago Symphony Chorus and soloists.
