Episode Details

The next installment in the Bach Choir's Cirque du Cinéma series is a program called Never Silenced, which pairs the music of J.S. Bach with the revolutionary silent films of Charlie Chaplin. Artistic Director Thomas Douglas joined Anna Singer live to talk about the concert.

Thomas explains the method behind this pairing, bridging the gap between two artistic eras and genres. The films Caught in a Cabaret and A Night in the Show will be screened. The choir will accompany the films with Bach's vocal music, including "Jesu, meine Freude," and "Omnes generationes" from the Magnificat. Nicole Tascarella will feature on the soprano aria from the Cantata Meine Seufzer, meine Tränen.

There are two opportunities to see the show: Saturday, February 14th at 7:30pm, and a matinee on Sunday, February 15th at 4:00pm. The concerts will take place at Eastminster Presbyterian Church. Tickets are available at https://www.bachchoirpittsburgh.org/.
