On April 8, the series welcomes Jacqueline Horner-Kwiatek who is best known as one of four singers of Anonymous 4, the acclaimed early music ensemble which is currently in its final performance season. "I am delighted to be making my debut with the Bach Festival and to have the opportunity to work with Maestro Glandorf on such wonderful music," said Horner-Kwiatek. "Anonymous 4 has always found Philadelphia to be a great city to perform in and I hope to see some A4 fans there."

Glandorf commented: "What I love about Jacqueline is that she has an extremely adventurous spirit and will sing anything from medieval chant to 19th century gospel hymns to avant-garde contemporary Opera. Her versatility as an artist is extraordinary. We have been looking for a way to collaborate again for a while, and this proved to be the perfect opportunity."
