Established by Dr. David Chin in Spring 2024, the Augustana Bach Collegium captures the hearts of its audience. Johann Sebastian Bach's works are rarely performed in the region, yet, they resonate deeply. Augustana Bach Collegium concerts have drawn people of faith, music lovers and community members from all walks of life.
Thanks to support from the Dr. Greg ‘74 and Karen (Devick) Schultz ‘75, the Augustana Bach Collegium performs a fall and spring event each year.
The Augustana Bach Collegium will present its second Bach Cantata Lecture Concert on Monday, Nov. 2, at 7:30 p.m. in the Chapel of Reconciliation.
GRAMMY®-nominated Daniel Moody will join Augustana faculty Dr. Russell Svenningsen and Peter Tuff as soloists.
The concert will also include special guests — the Lincoln High School Concert Choir.
Assistant Professor of Music and Conductor Dr. David Chin, originally from Malaysia, began taking piano lessons at the age of nine and was the pianist at his home church when he was just 12 years old. From 2005 to 2019, Chin earned bachelor’s, master’s and doctorate degrees in music in the United States. During that same time, he also taught at three universities. But, it wasn’t until his final semester as a master’s degree student at Eastman School of Music that a professor introduced Chin to Bach’s sacred works. Now, Chin is passing his passion for the “cornerstone of Western music” onto others.
