About this event

The Merciful Goodness

Presented by the California Bach Society, Nate Widelitz, Artistic Director

Grief has inspired some of history’s most powerful music. Handel’s Funeral Anthem for Queen Caroline and Bach’s Ich ruf zu dir, Herr Jesu Christ offer profoundly moving reflections on mortality, faith, and hope. Richly expressive choruses, intimate arias, and radiant counterpoint illuminate music that transforms personal loss into enduring consolation.
