CBA Symphony Orchestra & Chorus in concert on Saturday March 1

The Chicago Bar Association Symphony Orchestra & Chorus will perform in concert on Saturday, March 1, at 7:30 p.m., at St. James Cathedral, 65 E. Huron.

The program will feature the American premiere of Johann Friedrich Fasch's Magnificat in G major... just about 300 years after it was written. Of course, it was not possible to 'drop' new music on YouTube in 1724....

The program will also feature choral works by Thompson, Toch, and Gilbert & Sullivan. Stephen Blackwelder will conduct; Jeremy Vigil will be featured on the piano.

The orchestral portion of the concert, under the baton of CBASO Music Director Jennifer Huang, will feature Beethoven's Leonora Overture No. 3, Weber's Der Freischütz Overture, Saint-Saëns' Danse Macabre, and Smetana's The Moldau.

Advance tickets are available at this Eventbrite link. Adult tickets are $15 each, if sold in advance; law students and persons under 18 can obtain tickets for $10.

Tickets will also be available at the door (and online ticket sales will cease on the day of the event). Adult tickets will be $20 at the door, $15 for law students or persons under 18.
