The UNC Charlotte Chorale and the Chamber Orchestra will perform J.S. Bach’s “Magnificat” in D major at 7:30 p.m., Monday, Dec. 3, in the Belk Theater of the Robinson Hall for the Performing Arts.
Bach first composed the “Magnificat” in 1723 for the Christmas Vespers at Saint Thomas Church in Leipzig, Germany, where he was music director. In 1733, he re-worked the piece.
