Step into a world of calm and timeless beauty.
In celebration of Arvo Pärt’s 90th birthday, this exclusive performance brings his profound and radiant choral music into dialogue with the intimate solo Cello Suites of JS Bach.
This immersive candlelit performance features musicians with deep connections to the soundworlds of Bach and Pärt. Cellist Matthew Barley’s “great tenderness and eloquence” (BBC Music Magazine) has brought him worldwide acclaim, while conductor Benjamin Kirk honed his craft in Pärt’s home country, including with the renowned Estonian Philharmonic Chamber Choir. He conducts the highly acclaimed Purcell Singers in Pärt’s most-loved choral music, before the concert closes with the heart-stopping beauty of Tavener’s Svyati for cello and choir.
