The Bach Society presents Organ Vespers on Sunday, March 18 at 5:00 p.m., featuring Christoph Keggenhoff, Domkantor of the historic cathedral in Speyer Germany.
In observance of the 300th anniversary of Dieterich Buxtehude's death (1637-1707) he will play an all-Buxtehude program.
Christoph Keggenhoff founded and directs the Schola Cantorum Saliensis, a vocal ensemble that specializes in performing medieval music, especially Gregorian Chant and related repertoire. He teaches at the institute for Church Music in Speyer. He is an official organ consultant for the diocese of Speyer, and an elected member of the advisory board for the Organization of German Organ Consultants.
He has recorded five CD's of organ music and Gregorian Chant on the Organum Classics label. On the Sunday following his visit to Houston he will play a concert in the National Cathedral in Washington, D.C.
Christ the King Lutheran Church is located at the corner of Rice Boulevard and Greenbriar.
There is no admission charge; a free-will offering will be received to support the series.
The Bach Society's 2006-2007 season is funded in part by a grant from the City of Houston through the Cultural Arts Council of Houston/Harris County.
