The RCM’s annual Bach Cantatas concert returns with a programme showcasing the great Johann Sebastian and two of his sons.

The orchestra opens with music by Johann Christian, the youngest son and so-called ‘English Bach’, whose forward-looking musical style is said to have influenced the concertos of Haydn and Mozart. Wilhelm Friedemann, the oldest son, was known as the ‘Halle Bach’ and his Sinfonia, which carries the nickname ‘Die Dissonanzen’ (the dissonances), is abundant with harmonic surprises.

The choir joins for two sublime sacred cantatas by Johann Sebastian: ‘God, one praises You in the temple’ written for the installation of a new city council in Leipzig and ‘O eternal fire, o source of love’ composed for Pentecost Sunday.
