bach's coffee
cantata

North Star Baroque will close its debut season with a program that features Bach’s Coffee Cantata, a comedy from a time when coffee and coffee houses were first becoming all the rage in Europe. It tells the story of a comical dispute between a young girl who loves her coffee and her strict, blustery father who feels it isn’t proper for a girl to be drinking it. With three singers plus instruments, this little drama is the closest Bach ever came to writing an opera. The concert will also include a brilliant Vivaldi Concerto for Two Violins, as well as music of Corelli and Rameau.
