Bach Akademie Australia is delighted to present The Countertenor – Bach’s Holy Spirit, featuring the internationally acclaimed Grammy-nominated American countertenor Reginald Mobley at Christ Church Cathedral, Newcastle on Friday 4 April.

 

According to theological tradition in Lutheran Germany, the alto voice symbolised the Holy Ghost. Bach felt this deeply, thus reserving the alto voice for the most moving and special arias in his passions and cantatas. Bach Akademie Australia is proud to present the internationally acclaimed Grammy-nominated American countertenor Reginald Mobley in a program of Bach’s cantatas for the alto voice. Equally at home with gospel and jazz alongside music of the baroque period, Reginald’s purity of tone, clarity of articulation and deep personal connection to this music ensures an evening of sublime music making.


This concert marks the second performance that Bach Akademie Australia has presented in Newcastle at the historic Christ Church Cathedral, known for its stunning Gothic Revival architecture and rich history.


Don’t miss this extraordinary performance featuring an international artist of outstanding reputation.
