Washington’s Premier Bach Experience

Danqi Zeng

The Washington Bach Consort proudly presents Danqi Zeng, Grand Prize winner of the 2025 Lillian & Maurice Barbash International J.S. Bach Competition. A rising figure in historical performance, Zeng is praised for her eloquence, stylistic insight, and naturally communicative artistry.

Our season opens with four cantatas that display Bach’s artful inventiveness with the chorale melody, evinced in the carefully wrought musical architecture he builds within and around each.
