Johann Kuhnau
We are very excited to announce the first fruits of our Open Space Aldeburgh Music residencies: a concert in Orford Church at 3pm on Easter Sunday, entitled 'The Leipzig Connection'. The programme features Easter cantatas by J.S. Bach and his predecessor as Thomaskantor in Leipzig, Johann Kuhnau. The music varies from focusing on the death of Christ ('Christ lag in Todesbanden' BWV 4), to the full glory of Easter, with trumpets blazing and drums throbbing (Kuhnau's 'Wenn ihr fröhlich seid an euren Festen').
Solomon's Knot will assume its largest formation in recent times, with 10 singers and 19 instrumentalists. The singers will perform from memory, and the concert should have a similar impact to the recent chamber Christmas Oratorio.
Tickets are selling fast, though there are some left, available here.
We're really looking forward to seeing you there.
