LOCATION: Atonement Lutheran Church | 5 Wyomissing Blvd. | Wyomissing, PA 19610

October 2017 marks the 500th anniversary of Martin Luther’s Ninety-Five Theses. This gave birth to a new kind of church music, brought to Berks County when German immigrants settled in the area. Of all their contributions to our local community, nothing was more important to these newcomers than their Lutheran faith – and there is no greater Lutheran music than the works of Johann Sebastian Bach. In commemoration of this anniversary, the RSO collaborates with the Vox Philia chamber choir for some of Bach’s most memorable works — his Magnificat, written for his first Christmas in Leipzig; the Ein Feste Burg cantata, a setting of Luther’s most famous hymn; and his Orchestral Suite No. 3, rarely performed by modern orchestras.

Tickets are $25 and can be purchased by calling the RSO office at 610-373-7557 or by email at patronservice@readingsymphony.org.
