Coffee and a Cantata | Coffee Concert Series

This is the second concert in our Coffee Concerts in Shepherdstown Series, new for 2025!

This short, sweet and powerful performance will feature British baritone Thomas Coltman joining us again this year from his native Wales as well as flautist Sinéad Farrell in performances of Bach’s celebrated cantata no. 82 “Ich habe Genug” and the Badiniere from Bach’s Suite in B-minor. We couldn’t think of a more fitting title to perform early in the day on a Sunday than “Ich habe Genug” literally translates to “I have enough”, and thought it was a wonderful opportunity to celebrate the great joys of music nestled in the community of Shepherdstown.

We are delighted to bring this special performance to Saint Peter's Lutheran Church, a new venue for 2025. Bach was a Lutheran and composed his cantatas (a new one nearly every week) for his local parish.
