The Bach Players A musical offering: the
art of eloquence
The Octagon Chapel,
Colegate, Johann Sebastian Bach’s
Musical Offering (BWV 1079) is a late work that looks both back to the
tradition in which he worked and forwards to the music of his sons. We play
this dazzling piece in the context of music by Bach’s esteemed elders:
Buxtehude and Pachelbel . |

Early
Opera in
Fitzwilliam
Chamber Opera is a venture at Fitzwilliam College, Cambridge, founded with the aim of
presenting a biennial fully staged production.
In 2007 the initial opera was Handel’s Xerxes (review).
In 2009 Monteverdi's Orfeo
was performed over five nights plus a matinée at the ADC Theatre in Cambridge.
In 2012 Purcell’s Dido and Aeneas was
performed in an all-student production.
Cambridge Handel Opera was founded with the
intention of presenting fully-staged productions of Handel’s operas, in
English, every two years in the West Road Concert Hall. Recent productions have
included Ariodante, Agrippina and Atalanta.
The Company has been wound up in its present form upon the retirement of Andrew
Jones. It is hoped to establish a new Company with similar aims if a new
Musical Director can be found.
