The American Kantorei

October 2023 Concert

Join us on for evening prayer, Sunday, October 8, at 3:00 PM at St. Paul’s Lutheran Church in Des Peres, to hear the American Kantorei and orchestra perform J.S. Bach’s BWV 10: “Meine Seel erhebt den Herren”.

From Music of St. Paul’s post: “Music at St. Paul’s cordially invites you to an autumn concert of the American Kantorei chorus and orchestra this Sunday.

The program will feature J.S. Bach’s BWV 10: “Meine Seel erhebt den Herren,” translated as “My soul magnifies the Lord.” The cantata, composed in 1724, is also known as Bach’s German Magnificat.

The Kantorei, under the directorship of Dr. Maurice Boyer, specializes in the performance of Johann Sebastian Bach’s sacred choral works in the original German, accompanied by orchestra.
The event is complimentary, with a freewill offering, and is open to the public.”
