"We're excited to be performing for the first time in Holy Trinity, whose sterling acoustic will allow you to hear the brilliant intricacies of Bach's most festive music," Maestro Brandau says. "And we're thrilled we'll be joined by Early Music luminaries John Thiessen, Priscilla Herreid, Geoffrey Burgess, and Cynthia Roberts."

Amor Artis is an elite chamber chorus dedicated to illuminating the relationships between early, modern and contemporary music. It has premiered many important works for New York audiences and has issued more than 50 recordings, spanning works of five centuries. Maestro Brandau is artistic director of Princeton Pro Musica and Monmouth Civic Chorus. He is on the faculty of Westminster Choir College, where he has prepared the choir for performances with the Berlin Philharmonic, Vienna Philharmonic and Philadelphia Orchestra. The New York Times praised Daniel Lee for a "passionate... soulful performance."
