About The Event
Do you know, in 1734, Johann Sebastian Bach wrote a cantata about the temptation and power of coffee? Bach wrote the “Coffee Cantata,” a humorous one act operetta about a stern father’s attempt to check his daughter’s indulgence in the much loved Saxon habit of coffee drinking.
Perhaps, had he been born into this modern world, you might have found Bach hanging out at his local Starbucks in Leipzig, drawing inspiration (and sweet sustenance) from the joy of coffee just as he did at the Zimmermannsche Kaffeehaus in 1702.
Whether you prefer one brew over the other, we invite you to join us for an evening of roguery at its best featuring the captivating Cantata Quartet for Bach’s “tongue-in-cheek” Coffee Cantata.
