Café Zimmerman : Florilegium: Trio Sonata in G Major, BWV 1038 Bach, J. S. (+5 More)

Georg Philipp Telemann came from an affluent but unmusical family. Though he showed early promise as a performer and composer, his mother had other ideas and tried to discourage him by confiscating all his musical instruments. As a law student in Leipzig, however, he became increasingly involved in ‘extra-curricular’ musical activities. He composed a cantata every two weeks and had written four operas by the time he gave in totally to his real passion. Fame and fortune in a creative artist’s lifetime do not necessarily presage the judgement of posterity...

A lunchtime concert surveying music by Titans of German music and the coffee house in Leipzig which hosted many of Bach’s secular cantatas including the Coffee Cantata.   Located in 14 Katharinen Strasse the coffeehouse, by hosting concerts, allowed ladies to attend though they were not allowed without the music.   Bach directed the concerts in this establishment and they were obviously accompanied by food and drink.  Here we have a selection of composers associated with the café or repertoire popular in the day.

There will be a 30 minute interval to have lunch and picnic boxes created by the Birsay Bay Tea Rooms can be added to your ticket price for consumption in the interval
