Baroque Music by JS Bach and Buxtehude with Rebecca Harris Violin, Jan Zahourek Viola da gamba, Oliver John Ruthven Harpsichord.

As smitten as Bach was with the music of his hero Buxtehude, so are we with both their work. Join us if you feel the same! And if you need convincing, we are sure that a jovial evening in the company of these two composers will do the trick.

The harmony of the Beehive, the geometry of the honey-comb, and the vibrational dance are mirrored in the counterpoint and melodic invention of two composers whose cross-pollination led to the flowering of a style which defines German music of the High Baroque.
