Hear Baroque splendour at its best with works by the most illustrious composers of the age.
Opening with a touch of humour in Telemann’s high-spirited overture-suite, the programme also highlights the sublime voices of the RCM Chamber Choir who complement with works by father and son in JC Bach’s quasi-operatic Magnificat and JS Bach’s secular cantata ‘Sound, all ye drums now! Resound, all ye trumpets!’.
Meanwhile, the orchestra will deliver one of the Baroque era’s most iconic orchestral works, bringing to life Bach’s Brandenburg Concerto with its stunning array of solo instruments.
This concert will also be performed at St John the Evangelist Church, Oxford on Friday 21 February.
