Bach Vespers 26 October at 6:30pm at St. Mary at Hill Church
Father Adrian will be the guest preacher at this Lutheran Service which will include a performance of Bach’s magnificent and ever popular Reformation cantata, BWV 80, Ein feste Burg ist unser Gott. This Bach Vespers service takes place at 6.30pm at the church of St Mary at Hill in the City of London, hosted by St Anne’s Lutheran Church. This cantata features a team of three oboes of different sizes and bassoon, playing with and in contrast to the strings to create fabulous textural colours. There will also be lots of other music too, performed on period instruments.
Everyone is welcome and attendance is free. Do come along and bring your friends. We look forward to seeing you there to share Bach’s wonderful music!
