Hello Ever-Patient Kickstarter Backers,

It is fair to say that releasing a CD is a lot of work. Due to some -- or many as it were -- holdups we are finally mixing the CD and hope to have something available to you soon. We haven't forgotten about you and we are SO grateful that y'all have supported us. Remember to please keep informed with our other events on our website and Facebook page.

In the mean time, enjoy a live, unedited clip of us performing a movement from Bach's Aus der Tiefen, rufe ich, Herr, zu dir (BWV 131) from a performance in November.

Yours,

Christian

Recording Day!

Update #2 · Oct 26, 2012 · comment

After months of planning, we will be recording Bach's majestic cantata Himmelskönig, sei willkommen (BWV 182) today with the Horizon Chamber Choir & Players. We can't wait to share the final product with you in the next month or so. We will be recording in Shatto Chapel at First Congregational Church of Los Angeles. First Congregational is home to the LA Bach Festival, where we performed last week. Here is a picture from our sound check last week:

Please stay in contact with us by:

As we mentioned before the Kickstarter project only funded a small portion of the project. If you are able, we encourage you to make a tax-deductible donation on our website: http://www.horizonmusic.org. We are eternally grateful to you for your support!

The Bach Project!

Update #1 · Sep 24, 2012 · comment

First and foremost, thank you all for your generous support of our Kickstarter project. We have been working hard all summer planning our 2012-2013 season along with the Kickstarter recording project. We have fallen a little bit behind, but we plan on releasing our CD in November. Don't worry! You will be the first to know about it. If you haven't already, please fill out your Kickstarter Survey. It will help us keep you abreast of news on this project!

The Bach Project

The music of J.S. Bach has always been the cornerstone of the Horizon Music Group's repertory. In our first two seasons, we have performed the motets, a number of cantatas, and St. John Passion. This season will begin what we call The Bach Project: a multiyear performance and recording project, which your donation helped fund. Visit our new website for more information about The Bach Project and other Horizon Music Group events this season.

Also, know the Kickstarter project only funded a small portion of the project. If you are able, we encourage you to make a tax-deductible donation on our website: http://www.horizonmusic.org. We are eternally grateful to you for your support!

Also, take a listen to Gabriel Faure's Cantique de Jean Racine, recorded live by the Horizon Chamber Choir with pianist Aurelien Eulert this past June. Enjoy! And thank you for your support.
