In 1723, J.S. Bach traveled to Leipzig to audition for the position of Cantor at St. Thomas Church. This program explores the story behind that historic appointment, offering a glimpse into the competing candidates and the circumstances surrounding the selection. The concert features trio sonatas by Bach and his rivals, Georg Philipp Telemann and Christoph Graupner, alongside the Harpsichord Concerto in D minor.
