Looking more like a Kraftwerk gig than a classical concert, and with boundary-crossing audience appeal, this event brings Bach’s eternal music to everyone.
The band is made up of some of the UK’s best harpsichordists and baroque specialists who bring their combined skill and imagination to this thrilling re-colouring of Bach’s masterpieces.
A fine tribute to Wendy Carlos and her pioneering work with Switched-on Bach 50 years ago.
10 minute interval but bar open throughout the event.
Performance will end by 9pm to allow attendance at Clubnight.
Prom Ticket RVS/SP (on door only) £5
