Sir Nicholas Kenyon
J.S Bach: Music for All Ages
Afternoon Lecture
From the Swingle Singers to the Moog synthesizer, from massive symphonic orchestrations to purist one-to-a-part performances, Bach’s music has been continually transformed over the time since his death. But his idiom seems continually resilient. Our guest lecturer Sir Nicholas Kenyon explores some of the ways Bach's music has been interpreted and adapted to reflect the taste of the times, and what historically informed performances have revealed. Our Sunday concert 'Baroquebusters' will provide a further reminder of Bach's staying power across the centuries.
