No festival would be complete without a generous sampling of Bach’s matchless vocal music, and our final concert How Brightly Shines will not disappoint. We’ll hear two settings of the beautiful chorale “Wie schön leuchtet der Morgenstern” (“How brightly shines the Morningstar”), one by Johann Kuhnau, Bach’s predecessor at the Thomas Kirche, and one by Bach himself. The artistry of guest soloist Yeree Suh will be featured in several arias, and there will be other cantatas to bring the festival to a joyous conclusion - not to be missed!

“It’s easy to understand why David Russell gets invited back, season after season,” observed SF Classical Voice. His name is synonymous with sublime performances of a range of music, unflaggingly delivered with thoughtful interpretation and riveting precision. “I aim to help my listener really enjoy and see the same things that I see in the music, then I’m happy,” he says.
