As we prepare for Bach Cantata Vespers on Sunday, February 22, we’re delighted to introduce soprano Susan Nelson, one of the featured soloists in Bach’s "Tue Rechnung! Donnerwort" BWV 168.
Susan Nelson, a frequent soloist at Grace, holds degrees from the University of Illinois and the Eastman School of Music. Susan teaches voice at Concordia University and Providence St. Mel School, and is the choir and music director at Grace Lutheran Church in Mount Prospect. She has appeared as a chorister and soloist with Lyric Opera of Chicago, Grant Park Chorus and Music of the Baroque, for which she has also served as teaching artist for the past six years. Other local appearances include performances with Midwest Mozart Festival, Harbor Country Opera, and the Rockford and Elmhurst Choral Unions.
Susan joins the other soloists, the Bach Cantata Vespers Chorus, and Orchestra under the direction of Michael D. Costello.
Follow along in the next couple of weeks to learn more about the mezzo-soprano, tenor, and bass soloists who complete this ensemble, and save the date for February 22!
