John Butt and his period-instrument ensemble the Dunedin Consort explore the music of Bach. They pair Bach’s four Orchestral Suites with four newly commissioned works, each taking inspiration from the dances that are the heartbeat of Bach’s music. 

Bach specialist John Butt and his period-instrument Dunedin Consort continue our series of composer themed nights as a tribute to Proms founder conductor Henry Wood.

They pair Bach’s four Orchestral Suites with four newly commissioned works taking inspiration from the suites’ dance movements – providing both companions and contrasts.

Bach's suites are interspersed with four new works from Stuart MacRae, Nico Muhly, Ailie Robertson and Stevie Wishart (BBC co-commissions with the Dunedin Consort: world premieres).
