The Bach Choir: Musicians in Conversation

Join us for a relaxed evening in the company of award-winning musicians. Get a drink at the bar and listen to David Hill and Richard Morrison discuss what Bach’s music means today. Why is Bach so important? What’s the best way to listen to his music? Is Bach’s place in the repertoire safe?

You will also meet the composers of The Bach Choir’s exciting new album Bach Inspired, which will be released on March 18. This extraordinary collection showcases six brilliant new choral works, each inspired by a different chorale from Bach’s St Matthew Passion. Mark Austin will interview the composers about their pieces, and we will hear extracts from the album.

Join us for an accessible introduction to Bach, and be in the room as a new album inspired by his music is launched.
