Programme Note

The final concert of Pinner Music Festival 2021 marks the 700th Anniversary of the Dedication of St John’s Church, Pinner. Two main works are featured: the first is our main commissioned composition, the cantata A Brother Abroad, by Pinner-born Martin Bussey, which tells the story of Peter of Bologna, Bishop of Corbavia, the Franciscan Suffragan Bishop who dedicated St John’s Chapel, Pynnore in 1321, his life and times and his faith, through his own reflections as he travels from Greyfriars to Pynnore for the Dedication. The other main work is JS Bach’s wonderful Cantata #30, written for St John the Baptist’s Day, and performed by a vocal quartet with small ensemble.
