Approved

Beginning with his Nach dir, Herr, verlanget (For your Lord is my longing) and culminating in the joyous Easter Cantata Christ lag in Todesbanden (Christ lay in death’s bonds), this beautiful programme explores texts of human frailty and lament alongside those longing for hope to come – Alleluia! Featuring the music JS Bach alongside the music of family members Johann Michael and Johann Christian and admired contemporary Buxtehude – what better way to contemplate new life and new beginnings than through the music of Bach, his family and influences.
