An impressive line-up of Festival artists will gather for a sumptuous evening of Bach in various instrumentations and guises, including a rendition of a Gamba sonata with violin, cello and double bass, lively soprano arias, a noble organ prelude and fugue, cello suites on both the double bass and violoncello da spalla, and finishing with Bach’s glorious E major violin concerto.
