Emmanuel Music enriches the cultural life of the community through the transformative power of music. Celebrating a 50-year tradition of performing weekly Bach cantatas in a liturgical setting, we perform concert repertoire from baroque to contemporary in large and small ensembles, always challenging audiences to explore and discover familiar and unfamiliar masterworks. The commitment and discipli

In our outreach we are committed to training the next generation of musicians, mentoring young students, and reaching broad audiences in free concerts, lectures, and master classes.

Meet Alexa, a character in the upcoming “Baroque Remix”. Yes you read it correctly. The original score called for a nonspeaking butler named Vespone. To modernize this old theatrical trick of using characters that relied only on comedic gesture for laughs, Sonja split the character in two: one is Alexa, and the other will remain a special surprise.
But she does have one line!

“Baroque Remix” is coming up! May 14th at 7pm
