Event details

JS Bach's cantatas display an extraordinarily broad musical palette and, in the words of Richard Egarr, represent “the true kernel of his compositional life”.  For this vibrant performance, the AAM is joined by one of Britain's finest young singers, Elizabeth Watts, for a programme combining two cantatas with Bach’s virtuosic Concerto in D minor for harpsichord and the playful Concerto in C Minor for violin and oboe.
