This ‘Intimate Notes’ concert showcases our historical instruments at their very best. With a selection of solo pieces and works for small groups of musicians, you will hear the beauty of each instrument in breathtaking detail.This programme highlights the wealth and variety of music composed by the Bach family. As well as the father (Johann Sebastian), we showcase rarely performed music by sons Johann Christian, Johan Christoph Friederich, Carl Philipp Emanuel and Wilhelm Friedmann.
