Few composers captured the human experience like Johann Sebastian Bach.
Grief, hope, joy, redemption… In this deeply expressive programme, Sir John Eliot Gardiner returns with his new Constellation Choir and Orchestra to explore some of Bach’s most moving cantatas, alongside works by baroque predecessors Heinrich Schütz and Johann Hermann Schein. From the meditative stillness of Actus Tragicus to the radiant optimism of Wachet auf, this is sacred music that still speaks, stirs, and resonates centuries on.Tickets
