Shropshire Music Season begins on 12th October with an evening of Bach by Candlelight – where music lovers will be transported by music to lighten an autumn evening in the beautiful setting of Cound Church. The highly popular violinist, Zoë Beyers (associate leader of C.B.S.O and leader of E.S.O.) will perform three of Bach’s great and seminal works for solo violin.
Her programme will include Sonata No.2 in A minor BWV 1003; Partita No.1 in B minor BWV 1002, and Sonata No.3 in C major BWV 1005.
Director of Shropshire Music Trust, Kate Hogwood said: “Be both relaxed and inspired by this wonderful music by candlelight to brighten an autumn evening in this beautiful country church – featuring three of Bach’s great and seminal works for solo violin. There will be wine and juice in the interval.
This second instalment in Zoë’s exploration of Bach’s works for solo violin is a study in contrasts. From the dark dances of the B minor Partita to the ecstatic fugue of the great C major Sonata, this profound music takes you to the extremes of thought and imagination. Zoë Beyers (associate leader of C.B.S.O and leader of E.S.O.) introduces these abstract quintessential works – a pinnacle in the world’s music-making. Part I last season in Church Stretton was packed to capacity and received a standing ovation.
