Bach in Baltimore is overjoyed to welcome back contemporary composer Hollis Thoms in the
world premiere performance of his newest opera, Adam and Eve, featuring returning soloists
Jason Thoms as Adam; Sarah Bleasdale as Eve; and Kristopher Jean and Maria Sheehan as
Satan/Serpent. The original opera will be paired with Bach’s Cantata 165: O heilges Geist- und
Wasserbad, a watery and poetic piece that conjures images of purification of the soul through
baptism and the Adam and Eve story. We conclude the concert with Mozart’s effervescent
instrumental favorite Eine kliene Nachtmusik.

Tickets: $25 Regular / $27 Door
