J.S. Bach, known as the great master, wrote more than 200 cantatas, and UMD Choral Activities aims to sing them all in this series of short performances led by conductors in the graduate program. Conducted by Jonathan King, this performance will feature Was mir behagt, ist nur die muntre Jagd (The lively hunt is all my heart's desire), BWV 208 also known as the Hunting Cantata. The Polyphonists will be the soloists. This vocal quartet consists of current M.M. student Amy Broadbent, soprano; Sylvia Leith, mezzo-soprano; alumnus Matthew Hill, tenor; and Edmund Milly, bass-baritone.
