Bach and his contemporaries

7 July 2022, Trinity College Chapel, Royal Parade, Parkville, live streamed by Australian Digital Concert Hall.

Accompanied by strings and continuo, the Octet will explore the vocal and instrumental music of J S Bach and one of his major influences, Dietrich Buxtehude. The programme includes a rarely-heard gem by Bach’s predecessor at the Thomaskirche in Leipzig, Johann Kuhnau, and Bach’s exquisite arrangement of it. Sung one-to-a-part, the text and drama of Bach’s virtuosic motets are freshly revealed.

Tickets can be purchased here.
