Bach’s majestic Easter Oratorio was performed on Easter in 1725 in Leipzig at both the Nikolaikirche and the Thomaskierke. The choral masterwork was conceived at the height of Bach’s creative powers as a sacred vocal composer, between his dramatic St. John Passion (1724) and his monumental composition, St. Matthew Passion (1727).
All three of them represent a departure from his cantatas which were much shorter in length. The concert features the choir of Musica Sacra, directed by Owen Duggan, and members of the San Antonio Philharmonic and is free and open to persons of all faiths.
Recommended donation of $20.

Opening Reception for Eric O'Connell's Pinhole Photography Exhibit is on March 29, 2026 at 3:00 PM.
The show opens March 22, 2026 through May 27, 2026, and presents creative pinhole portraits of San Antonio Artist immersed in their artform.
The opening exhibit of Eric O’Connell’s pinhole photography invites viewers into a living moment where time, movement, and memory converge. Through long exposures that compress minutes into a single frame, O’Connell reveals portraits that are both sharp and softly obscured, capturing not just a subject’s image but the interaction, motion, and atmosphere surrounding them.
Ghostly blurs, shifting shadows, and layered spaces create a sense of transparency and connection, allowing creativity, place, and presence to merge into one unified view. This exhibit asks audiences to slow down and consider the fleeting, often overlooked relationships between time, the artist, and the world they inhabit.
