JS Bach / Arvo Pärt – Concert

28 March @ 7:30 pm - 9:30 pm
£10 – £20

Bath Bach Choir is one of the leading and established choirs in Bath.

For our spring concert Bath Bach Choir perform JS Bach’s Jesu, meine Freude and Arvo Pärt’s Passio.

These two composers, although separated by centuries, were yet united in faith and shaped by traditions that value music not as an ornament but as a proclamation. Heard together, these works reveal contrasting responses to the same impulse: to let music serve the word of God.

Johann Sebastian Bach harnessed music to articulate his own passionate beliefs. Arvo Pärt, an orthodox christian who turned 90 last year, strove to create a musical genre that would, in its simplicity, bring the sacred texts to the forefront. This programme offers not so much a clash of styles as a rare chance to hear how belief, discipline and listening can shape music across centuries – and still ask us to listen differently.

Joining Bath Bach Choir will be the singers and instrumentalists of The Facade Ensemble, a chamber group that specialises in bringing 20th-century music to the forefront of today’s listening experiences.
