Liverpool Bach Collective: Cantata 54, Widerstehe doch der Sunde (Be steadfast against sin)

Liverpool Bach Collective was formed in 2013, with the aim of putting on performances of J S Bach's cantatas in churches in and around Liverpool every month as part of Sunday Evensong or Vespers. The cantatas chosen are based on, or are at least relevant to, the readings of the day in the churches visited. Cantata 54 'Be steadfast against sin' is a suitable preparation for Lent. It is a solo cantata which will be sung by Danny Townley (countertenor), accompanied by a baroque string ensemble.
