Winner of the 2025 Lillian and Maurice Barbash International J.S. Bach Competition Chamber Series The Washington Bach Consort proudly presents Danqi Zeng, Grand Prize winner of the 2025 Lillian & Maurice Barbash International J.S. Bach Competition—a forum devoted exclusively to Bach’s unaccompanied string works. A rising figure in historical performance, Zeng is praised for her eloquence, stylistic insight, and naturally communicative artistry. Her interpretations unite rhetorical clarity with expressive freedom, illuminating the contours, contrasts, and emotional depth of Bach’s solo violin writing. This intimate chamber program offers a rare opportunity to experience Zeng’s artistry up close, revealing the colors made possible by gut strings, the nuance of Baroque bowing, and the depth of engagement that historically informed technique can bring to these masterworks. A radiant and compelling season opener.

Featuring Renowned Tenor Thomas Cooley Chamber Series The Washington Bach Consort welcomes Thomas Cooley, the internationally acclaimed tenor whose vivid artistry and mastery of early music have made him a leading interpreter of Baroque and pre‑Baroque repertoire worldwide. With a career spanning more than two decades across major stages including Carnegie Hall, the Concertgebouw, and Berlin Philharmonie, Cooley brings exceptional dramatic instinct and stylistic command to this exploration of the Baroque’s earliest flowering. This richly curated program traces the emergence of a new musical language in early seventeenth‑century Italy—from the pioneering works of Jacopo Peri, Giulio Caccini, and Claudio Monteverdi, whose Seconda Prattica reshaped expressive possibility, to the striking originality of Sigismondo d’India and Barbara Strozzi. With Cooley as guide, audiences will encounter the intensity, rhetorical daring, and evolving vocal aesthetic that gave rise to the Baroque.
