Society seems to be getting back to basics these days. The Bach Society of St. Louis is getting back to its own basics in its season-closing concert next Sunday, with two major pieces by Johann Sebastian Bach: the beautiful motet “Jesu, meine Freude (Jesus, my joy)” and his Violin Concerto in A minor, with the Bach Society Orchestra’s concertmaster, Lenora-Marya Anop, as the featured soloist.

The evening’s other soloist is the fine soprano Sherezade Panthaki, stepping out in George Frideric Handel’s setting of the Gloria, rediscovered at the turn of this century. The Bach Society gave the work its St. Louis premiere in 2002; now they’re offering audiences another chance to appreciate it. The concert also includes Mozart’s Vespers, for soloists, chorus and orchestra.
