Join the Sydney Cantata Project on Saturday, 30 November at 3pm at St Paul's Anglican Church, Burwood, for a performance of C.P.E. Bach's Magnificat. Soloists feature Angela Brun, Sally-Anne Russell, Richard Butler, and David Greco.

C.P.E. Bach, the second son of J.S. Bach, was a key figure in the transition between the Baroque and Classical periods. He developed a distinctive style known as Empfindsamer Stil (the "sensitive style"), which focused on expressing deep emotion and contrasts within music. C.P.E. Bach’s works often feature surprising shifts in mood and dynamics, which influenced later composers like Haydn, Mozart, and Beethoven. His Magnificat is one of his larger-scale choral works, showcasing both his innovation and his roots in the Baroque tradition.

This concert offers a chance to hear such an exciting and rarely performed masterpiece!
