Bach CantataFest

WETA Classical celebrates the birthday month of Johann Sebastian Bach with the return of "CantataFest" on WETA VivaLaVoce. Throughout March, we will broadcast all of the more than 200 surviving cantatas by Bach. Cantatas air every other hour between 7am and 7pm each day, except on Bach's birthday (March 21), when we will air his large choral works (Mass, Passions, etc.). Click the link below to follow along with each day's cantata offerings.
