Programme

Overview

Experience the harpsichord’s Baroque brilliance as Alastair Ross and Laurence Cummings bring Bach, Handel, Laschanzky, and trailblazing women composers to life. Celebrate an instrument that sparked a musical revolution and gave voice to imaginations without limits.Join harpsichordist Alastair Ross and conductor Laurence Cummings for an unforgettable journey into the Baroque age, where music and invention intertwined. This evening, Bach’s transcendent fugues, Handel’s graceful suites, Laschanzky’s radiant sonatas, and rare works by noblewomen composers shimmer with inventive spirit and emotional depth. Against a backdrop reminiscent of candlelit salons and gilded courts, Ross’s agile touch and Cummings’s dynamic leadership showcase the harpsichord as the engine of a musical revolution. From intimate solo passages to bold statements from voices long unheard, this celebration of an era and an instrument honors the alchemy created when keys and quills converged with boundless imagination. Immerse yourself in the revolution that liberated composers, transformed private gatherings, and continues to inspire wonder centuries on.
