Our historic 47th season starts with a new and exciting DC partnership. The Thirteen is one of the Washington area’s flagship professional ensembles, founded in 2012 and led by Artistic Director Matthew Robertson. In their Dumbarton debut, they present a program, with full choir of sixteen singers and period instruments, of J.S. Bach’s timeless motets, including the iconic Jesu, Meine Freude. Tickets will go fast for this epic season-opening program, featuring the group lauded by The Washington Post as possessing “striking color and richness” that “transfigures the listener.”
