American Classical Orchestra Performs Healing Bach, A Program of Solo Cantatas and Instrumental Works at The Church of St. Vincent Ferrer on February 26

Founder and Artistic Director Thomas Crawford conducts the American Classical Orchestra (ACO), New York City’s leading period instrument orchestra, in an all J.S. Bach concert at the Church of St. Vincent Ferrer on Thursday, February 26 at 7:30 pm. Considered one of the most spectacular architectural buildings in Manhattan, the nave of the Church is the setting for a program of solo cantatas and instrumental works that demonstrate Bach’s ability to address the complete spectrum of human spiritual experience, from communal celebration to private contemplation. Artistic Director Thomas Crawford will give a brief pre-concert talk at 6:30 pm to illuminate the program, in which oboist Marc Schachman will discuss acquiring his amazing new instrument, interspersed with demonstrations.
