Bach’s Coffee Cantata
We all know that coffee has been loved and worshiped like few other beverages. Johann Sebastian Bach was also apparently a coffee enthusiast – so much so that he wrote a composition about the beverage! Bach’s mini-opera, the Coffee Cantata, will open the concert, followed by favorite vocal selections from classical and musical theatre repertoire.
