On Sunday evening, November 9th, there will be a Bach Vespers service at 6 p.m. featuring J. S. Bach's cantata no. 93 "Wer nur den lieben Gott lasst walten." The choir will be comprised of singers from the Festival Choir of St. Mark's and many singers from the community. The orchestra will be instrumentalists from the Jacksonville Symphony Orchestra and from the community.
Written for the fifth Sunday after Trinity while Bach was in Leipzig, this cantata is based on the chorale by the same name. It's English title is "If You But Trust In God to Guide You" and is hymn no. 769 in Evangelical Lutheran Worship (the hymnal of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America).
Soloists are Jane Kilby (soprano), Emily Madigan (alto), William Adams (tenor) and Frank Starbuck (bass).
There is no charge, but an offering will be taken and a reception will follow. This service is in conjunction with the celebration of St. Mark's 70th anniversary! Please come and bring a friend!
