SUMMARY:Carmel Bach Festival: Bach & Rebel
DESCRIPTION:This program traces how composers use music to explore our deepest responses to the world — grief and wonder\, chaos and order\, sorrow and joy.\nThe journey begins in darkness and disorder: Purcell’s Music for the Funeral of Queen Mary confronts mortality\, while Rebel’s Les Élémens erupts from a single “Chaos” chord\, giving form to Earth\, Air\, Fire\, and Water — elemental forces whose turbulent beginnings echo the disorder and beauty of human life. \nAt the program’s center\, Kaija Saariaho’s Nuits\, Adieu evokes transformation\, impermanence\, and reflection through whispering voices and shifting harmonies. Sandström’s expansion of Purcell’s Hear My Prayer\, O Lord gradually intensifies\, layering voices and harmonies to convey human hope and resilience. The program culminates in Bach’s festive Cantata No. 214\, a joyful celebration of life\, energy\, and the enduring human spirit.

SUMMARY:Carmel Bach Festival: Haydn The Seasons
DESCRIPTION:Celebrate Opening Night with us after this performance on Saturday\, July 11! This post-concert party will happen on the Sunset Center Terrace\, and is open to all ticket holders. Haydn’s The Seasons is a large-scale oratorio depicting Spring\, Summer\, Autumn\, and Winter. Combining chorus\, soloists\, and orchestra\, it tells stories of nature\, human labor\, and rural life. The orchestra paints vivid scenes—flowing streams\, birdsong\, thunderstorms\, icy winds\, and harvest celebrations—while soloists bring human characters to life\, from peasants at work to lovers strolling and farmers celebrating. Premiered in Vienna to wide acclaim\, The Seasons quickly became one of Haydn’s most celebrated works. \nNorwegian composer Nils Henrik Asheim explores the textures\, silence\, and rhythms of winter in Muohta – Language of Snow. Evoking snow-covered landscapes\, his work blends contemplative atmospheres with subtle harmonic shifts. Audiences can expect an immersive\, meditative experience where sound mirrors nature’s stillness and the quiet power of the frozen world.
