A week ago last Sunday the Bach Society of Dayton’s concert was held at the Seventh-Day Adventist Church on Stroop and Southern Blvd. Its handsome auditorium has perfect acoustics for presenting Bach’s “Magnificat”.
Preceding the concert Margaret Karns, president of the Bach Society introduced Rev. Johann G. Roten, S.M. His edifying lecture pointed up the relation of Annunciation and Visitation through art and music using images from the Univ. of Dayton’s vast collection. Rev. Roten was born and educated in Switzerland and holds degrees from the Univ. of Freiberg, a Ph.D from Freiberg (Germany), and the S.T.D. from the Marianum in Rome. He is co-founder of the American Creche Society and Creches International.
The forty-nine member Choir was thrilling – and was enhanced by soloists Andrea Chenoweth of Springfield, OH., Emily Landa of LaGrange, GA., Lisa Forrester of Cincinnati, Randall Black, tenor, and Randall Levin, bass-baritone of Cincinnati and Akron.
