Programme Note
Step into the serene, candlelit splendour of St Mary le Strand and experience the timeless beauty of J.S. Bach’s Cello Suites, performed by the acclaimed cellist Kirsten Jenson. Nestled in the heart of London, this exquisite baroque church—rich in history and architectural grandeur—provides the perfect backdrop for an evening of musical reflection and inspiration.
Regarded as some of the most profound works ever written for solo instrument, Bach’s Suites for Cello are a journey through grace, melancholy, strength, and serenity. In this special performance, you’ll hear three of the most beloved suites—each one a masterful expression of Bach’s genius and emotional depth.
Let the pure, unaccompanied voice of the cello transport you in a setting of breathtaking beauty, just steps from the bustle of the West End. With a wealth of bars and restaurants nearby, it’s an ideal way to begin your weekend with elegance and artistry.
