Music Worcester Presents: Cantatathon 2026

In Music Worcester’s second annual Cantatathon, Worcester Bach Collective ensembles perform a selection of cantatas at Mechanics Hall.

A cantata is a vocal work for solo/chorus and orchestra, either celebrating sacred or secular traditions. These works are conversations between voice and instrument and are meant to spotlight the technicality of the performer. Over the course of THE COMPLETE BACH’s eleven years, ensembles will present each of Bach’s cantatas. At intermission, join us for cake and champagne in honor of Bach’s 341st birthday.

Program
Ach Gott, wie manches Herzeleid, BWV 3
Wär Gott nicht mit uns diese Zeit, BWV 14
Christum wir sollen loben schon, BWV 121
Nimm, was dein ist, und gehe hin, BWV 144
Meinen Jesum laß ich nicht, BWV 124
