New Canon Chamber Collective presents an unforgettable evening that bridges two masterful composers – Johann Sebastian Bach and Margaret Bonds – through their deeply expressive works of faith, struggle, and redemption.

The program weaves selections from Bach’s St. Matthew Passion, a cornerstone of Baroque sacred music, with Margaret Bonds’ Simon Bore the Cross, a powerful cantata that reimagines the story of Simon of Cyrene through the lens of African-American spirituals.

While separated by centuries, Bach and Bonds share a profound ability to illuminate the human experience through music – each composition carrying themes of sacrifice, resilience, and divine grace.

Join Sanctuary of the Arts for this stirring performance, where the voices and instruments of New Canon Chamber Collective breathe life into these transcendent works, inviting you to experience the universal power of music to heal, uplift, and inspire.
