Emmanuel Music performs at modern pitch A=440. Auditionees on Baroque string instruments are welcome, but must be able to perform at modern pitch.
The Bach Institute seeks to share the deep knowledge and experience of the Emmanuel Music ensemble in performing the sacred cantatas of J.S. Bach. Drawing on fifty years of practical experience offering these profound works in a worship context, we bring a unique perspective on the communicative power and timeless relevance of this music, as well as insights into technique, interpretation, and pacing.
For nearly two weeks in January, students participate in the Sunday morning Bach cantata performances at Boston’s Emmanuel Church; study Bach cantata arias and recitatives (though in-depth text study and intensive private coaching); and perform in public masterclasses - all culminating in a student Showcase Concert at the conclusion of the Intensive. The Bach Institute is open to college students, graduate students and young professionals. US and international applications are welcome; travel, visas (when applicable), and local housing are the responsibility of the participant.
