Programme Note
In a scintillating evening of Baroque music, we contrast the virtuosity of Bach’s Magnificat with the opulent splendour of Handel’s Coronation Anthems – including the famous Zadok the Priest. For this musical feast, KCS is joined by an exciting quintet of young soloists from the Royal College of Music, and the superb period-instrument musicians of the Purcell Orchestra.
