Blake Beckemeyer, Evangelist/Arias/Tenor Concertist
Christ Church Cathedral Choir
Christopher Caruso-Lynch, conductor
Indianapolis Baroque Orchestra
Beckemeyer has his debut as the Evangelist and singing the arias in the Bach Johannes-Passion, BWV 245. The original conception of the work as argued by Daniel Melamed in "Hearing Bach’s Passions” is that there was one tenor who sang all arias, ensembles, and recitatives. Though a larger choir will be singing the larger ensembles, the performance will be with historical instruments and with soloists as concertists.
