Bach Weekend returns with a trio of transcendent evening concerts celebrating the genius of Johann Sebastian Bach.

The weekend opens with ‘From Darkness into Light’, a programme of works celebrating rebirth and transfiguration, presented by Rachel Podger and Brecon Baroque.

Bach’s orchestral masterpieces are featured on Saturday night, when violin virtuoso Catherine Manson is joined by Miki Takahashi and oboist Geoffrey Coates for a performance of Bach’s great solo and double violin concerti, accompanied by the Feinstein Ensemble.

The weekend finishes, fittingly, with a complete performance of Bach’s final masterpiece The Art of Fugue, an emotional odyssey and a work of extraordinary beauty.
