Oregon Bach Festival
Craig Hella Johnson, conductor

An outdoor, sunset concert to celebrate the 500th anniversary of Giovanni Pierluigi da Palestrina, the “Prince of Music,” whose works defined the golden age of Renaissance polyphony. The evening also features a transformative reimagining of J.S. Bach’s Chaconne and a world premiere new work by award-winning west coast composer, Derrick Skye. Interwoven throughout the program are readings inspired by Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz, the 17th-century Mexican poet and nun. Conducted by OBF artistic partner, Craig Hella Johnson.
