 \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBefore “Bach” was synonymous with “musician” in th
 e German state of Thuringia\, the name “Drese” was already associated 
 with the musical leadership of this region. Adam Drese and his cousin Joha
 nn Samuel Drese helped shaped the musical landscape that Johann Sebastian 
 Bach entered into—Johann Samuel was even Kapellmeister in Weimar during 
 Bach’s tenure in the city. While much of their repertoire has been lost 
 to history\, the Drese cousins were hugely influential\, including on the 
 young Bach. A mainstay of our June Festivals since 2019\, the American cha
 mber ensemble ACRONYM débuts on our annual concert series in a program 
 that assembles for the first time nearly all of the extant works by the Dr
 ese cousins\, along with several of Bach’s arrangements of them. Compris
 ed of some of North America’s finest young Early Music specialists\, ACR
 ONYM is joined by an all-star roster of guest artists\, including historic
 al brass players\, for the modern premiere of Adam Drese’s funeral motet
 \, Wie selig sind die Toten\, the earliest-known work written for slide t
 rumpet.\n\n\n\n\n\n“Consummate style\, grace\, and unity of spirit.”\
