Our Summer Concert – Haydn & CPE Bach


Thank you to those who joined us for our Opera Day, with special thanks to our soloists.

We are working on our next concert, an evening of music by Haydn and CPE Bach. Haydn’s Symphony No 85 is also known as ‘The Queen’, it being a favourite of Marie Antoinette.

This will be followed by CPE Bach’s Magnificat, a musical setting of the biblical text from the Gospel of St Luke. Though a song of praise by Mary, the Mother of Jesus, in this composition one cannot help but feel that it is also an homage to Bach’s father, Johann Sebastian…

Our concerts are currently hosted at ‘The Musicians’ Church’ – Holy Sepulchre Church, Holborn Viaduct – opposite the Old Bailey, around the corner from Barts Hospital.

Do join us for a musical evening at Holy Sepulchre on Monday 9th July. All ticket proceeds are donated to Barts Cancer Unit towards that something extra for patients and staff.
