Cantata Tickets

Cantata is a distinguished early-music performer renowned for bringing Bach’s cantatas and related repertoire to life with clarity, precision, and expressive depth. Under the baton of celebrated conductor Nicholas McGegan, Cantata has pursued a focused artistic project: the complete Bach cantata cycle across the Cantata Collective, delivering historically informed performances that resonate with both purists and new listeners. The ensemble collaborates with notable vocalists such as Sherezade Panthaki and Reginald Mobley, earning praise from Early Music America for its meticulous recording work and interpretive vision.

Rooted in a passion for Baroque fidelity, Cantata seeks to illuminate the emotional range of Bach’s sacred and secular cantatas, blending period-informed technique with transparent musical communication. The group’s recent catalog includes live and studio projects that explore monumental works like the Mass in B Minor, the St. John Passion, and the Easter Oratorio & Magnificat series, released on Cantata Collective and Avie Records. Cantata’s ongoing activity embraces concert performances, festival appearances, and a series of free Sunday concerts that have become a beloved feature of the Berkeley, CA community at St. Mary Magdalen Church.

Upcoming performances continue Cantata’s commitment to accessible, high-quality early-music programming. With a 2025-26 season announced, audiences can expect intimate chamber-like textures alongside robust choral forces, bringing the warmth and precision of Bach’s music to life in familiar venues and new spaces. For fans and newcomers alike, Cantata offers a reliable, no-fuss path to live classical experiences—like having a trusted friend in the business who can secure your seats for you.
