Check out this great post on the St. Matthew Passion from Baltimore Sun music critic!

We were delighted and honored to read Baltimore Sun music critic Tim Smith’s recent blog post in which he discusses the St. Matthew Passion and enthusiastically recommends our performance of it this weekend.

“The performances will be conducted by T. Herbert Dimmock, whose championing of the composer is boundless and whose dedication to the Bach Concert Series has made it an admirable component of the city’s cultural life.”

Read the entire post, then make your plans to attend one or both parts of this monumental work this weekend at Christ Lutheran Church!

One of our generous donors has given us a set of 12 antique photographs of Baltimore that we are pleased to be able to offer for sale to our fans and audience members.  The prints will be on display at each of our remaining concerts during the season.  If you are interested, you can also contact us at any point in time to arrange for a sale.

We are selling each print for only $100, and we are happy to announce that half of that value ($50) is completely tax-deductible.

Most of the photographs were taken in the early 20th century.  All the prints are framed and behind glass.  For more information and images of all the prints for sale, click here.
