Music Worcester Presents: Cantatathon 2026

In Music Worcester’s second annual Cantatathon, Worcester Bach Collective ensembles and other regional partners perform a selection of cantatas at Mechanics Hall. This year’s event features the First Baptist Church Choir, Salisbury Singers, the Worcester Children’s Choir, and Voices of Concinnity with Consonare Choral Community.

A cantata is a vocal work for solo/chorus and orchestra, either celebrating sacred or secular traditions. These works are conversations between voice and instrument and are meant to spotlight the technicality of the performer. Over the course of THE COMPLETE BACH’s eleven years, ensembles will present all of Bach’s cantatas. At intermission, join us for cake and champagne in honor of the 341st anniversary of J.S. Bach’s birth.
