Description: The Immanuel Choir will be joined by professional soloists, instrumentalists and other guests to present Bach's Cantata 23, Du wahrer Gott und Davids Sohn (Thou True God and David's Son), as a part of the evening vespers service. This is a unique opportunity to hear works by J.S. Bach presented in worship, the context for which they were written and intended to be performed. We welcome all people to join us for this unique worship experience. This service also marks the beginning of a revival of Immanuel Lutheran's Bach Cantata Vespers Series after a break of several years. The next Bach Cantata Vespers will be on Sunday, April 26th at 7:00 p.m. with Cantata 150, Nach dir, Herr, verlanget mich (O Lord, I long for thee.) There is no fee to attend, but a free will offering will be taken to help support the Bach Cantata Vespers Series. Submitted by: Connie Benolkin Immanuel Lutheran Church Kansas City, MO
