Don't miss out on the highly anticipated Fall Concert - Baroque Treasures, featuring the talented UCAC ensemble. This captivating event will take place on November 12th, at the prestigious First Congregational Church in Berkeley. Under the guidance of their newly appointed director, Paul Flight, UCAC will showcase the remarkable works of Johann Kuhnau and Jan Dismas Zelenka from the Baroque period. 

Kuhnau, renowned as J.S. Bach's predecessor at the Thomaskirche in Leipzig, created awe-inspiring sacred choral compositions. His Magnificat, featured in this concert, promises to be a joyous and festive experience, brimming with delightful melodies. Zelenka, a contemporary of Bach, served at the court of the Elector of Saxony in Dresden. His music is characterized by its unique energy and captivating fugues, making it a truly intriguing addition to the program.

This remarkable performance will feature several exceptional soloists, including UC alumni Sepp Hammer (bass), Caroline Jou Armitage (soprano), and Celeste Winant (alto), who is also employed by the university. Additionally, we are delighted to have soprano Rita Lilly, spouse of Nitash Balsara, a respected professor in the College of Chemistry, lending her exceptional talents to the concert. While tenor Corey Head is currently unaffiliated, we hope to persuade him to consider applying to grad school within our esteemed institution.
