Bach-Ascension Oratorio
Calgary Philharmonic

In this rare opportunity, we shine a light on hidden treasures of Bach under the baton of British conductor Nicholas McGegan, hailed as “one of the fi nest Baroque conductors of his generation.” The Oboe d’Amore Concerto and Ascension Oratorio demonstrate the playfulness and the pathos of Baroque sensibilities, and Bach’s phenomenal understanding of the human condition.
