# Event Details

- **Event Name**: All is Breath: Music of Bach and Schneider
- **Event Start and End Date**: Sat, 18 Apr, 2026 at 07:30 pm (-04:00)
- **Event Description**: Join the Burlington Choral Society on Saturday, April 18th for the world premier of Michael Schachter's "Qohelet" and a celebration of Richard Riley's 12-year tenure as Artistic Director and the 50th anniversary of the BCS.

The eponymous “Qohelet” references the wise figure in Ecclesiastes who questioned the value of worldly pursuits and acknowledged the futility of life’s endeavors.

The program will also feature the music of J.S. Bach and a second piece by Schachter. Bach's most popular cantata "Wachet auf" will be performed in its entirety along with two Riley arrangements for chorus and orchestra of music originally written for instruments alone. Also on the program will be the excerpt "Be at peace again, my soul" from Bach's cantata BWV 21 and the first Burlington performance of Schachter's "Oseh Shalom Bimromav" (He who makes peace in High Places).

The performance will feature soprano Mary Bonhag (who performed in Riley's first concert with the BCS in 2012), bass-baritone Sumner Thompson, and an orchestra of 15.

Join us in song at the Elley-Long Music Center at St. Michael’s College.

General admission tickets are $30 for adults; ages 18 and under are free.
