Add to my Calendar 28-05-2022 19:30 28-05-2022 21:30 36 The Marian Consort Motets by JS Bach and his family frame this sequence of sublime German baroque works performed by the intimate instrumental forces and ‘impassioned … effortlessly elegant’ voices of The Marian Consort. At the heart of the programme sits Heinrich Schütz’s astonishing Musikalische Exequien: written at the height of the Thirty Years’ War, a conflict which decimated much of German-speaking Europe and left more than eight million people dead or displaced, this intensely human requiem combines the austere ritual of ancient chant with all of the colour, urgency and energy of baroque solo singing.
