Community Education - Rochester, Minnesota

Join Rochester Symphony conductor Chia-Hsuan Lin (pronounced jah-shwen), for a presentation about one of the most beloved pieces of choral music ever composed - J.S. Bach’s Cantata 140. Also known as “Sleeper’s Awake!”, the music has a recognizable and iconic melody that has been included in many Christians hymnals.

Through music clips and stories, Maestro Lin shares the history and musical elements that will enrich your understanding of classical music and the listening experience. Musical selections will focus on those included in Rochester Symphony’s upcoming concert for those who wish to hear them performed in full after the presentation.
