LA FOLLIA PRESENTS

BACH:

LOSER IN LEIPZIG

JANUARY 27 | 3:00 P.M. | REDEEMER PRESB. CHURCH

Bach infamously came in third place in applying for the music director’s position in Leipzig in 1723,. He only got the job after Telemann and Graupner refused it. Were the Town Council idiots? Or did they make wise choices? We perform the audition cantatas from all three composers. Decide for yourself.

Jenny Houghton, Nick Garza, Steven Brennfleck, and Gil Zilkha are joined by a 15 piece Baroque ensemble. The concert includes a US premier of the Telemann cantata.

Based in Austin, Texas, we perform music from the time of Bach, Handel, Vivaldi, Haydn and Mozart. We use instruments and performance practices appropriate to the period, so you experience the music exactly as the composers experienced it. Winner of multiple Austin Critics Table awards including Best Ensemble, La Follia is, in the words of the Austin American-Statesman, “Baroque done right.”
