This concert is directed by Kathryn Davidson.

Join the BBCP for the first program of 2024 in the 13th season of this beloved Bloomington baroque tradition. The third work written by the newly-arrived Cantor of the Thomasschule at St. Thomas's Church in Leipzig almost exactly 300 years ago this month, "Ein ungefärbt Gemüte" BWV 24, offers a thrillingly robust instrumentation of trumpet, oboes, and oboes d'amore, and instilled a hearty lesson on the Golden Rule to churchgoers. In between performances, hear BBCP Director Daniel R. Melamed discuss how this lesson was taught through the music and text of the work, and how those churchgoers understood it at the time.
