The American Kantorei, under the direction of Robert Bergt
Bach at the Sem is a series of sacred concerts, featuring the music of Johann Sebastian Bach, offered on the Concordia Seminary campus. The vocalists and instrumentalists of the American Kantorei, under the direction of Robert Bergt, provide the music for the series.
The series celebrates the close relationship between Johann Sebastian Bach and the church. His cantatas and other sacred works for voices and instruments were meant to be heard and used in worship. The excellent craftsmanship in the compositions and the lively biblical message of the texts are presented in circumstances similar to those envisioned by the master. The instrumentalists and singers of the American Kantorei are carefully chosen and prepared to give full artistic expression to this unique combination. The Seminary's Chapel of St. Timothy and St. Titus is a fitting place to experience the biblical message presented through this excellent music.
We are grateful to Richard and Phyllis Duesenberg and to Robert and Lori Duesenberg for their generous gifts, which make the Bach at the Sem series possible. Concordia Seminary is privileged to make Johann Sebastian’s music available to the St. Louis community and invites also your generosity in support of this important series.
Unless otherwise indicated, all sacred concerts are offered in the Concordia Seminary Chapel of St. Timothy and St. Titus. All events are open to the public free of charge and no tickets are issued. A free-will offering is taken to assist in funding the series.
