This is the first of two exciting Bach programmes. In November we shall feature his Christmas music. Here his wonderful motets – which famously impressed even Mozart – will be the focus. These range from the sonorous and reflective Komm, Jesu, komm, to the exuberant counterpoint of Lobet den Herrn and are among the highlights of the entire choral repertoire.

This ever-popular event will have a French accent, inspired by the 150th anniversary of the birth of Claude Debussy. His exquisite Trois Chansons, settings of medieval poetry, will be the centrepiece and will be complemented by other songs from and about one of our nearest neighbours.

The Menuhin Hall, The Yehudi Menuhin School, Stoke d’Abernon, Surrey KT11 3QQ

Another exploration of Bach’s splendid Christmas music is long overdue. The radiant joy of Christmas Oratorio (Parts i-iii) will be here complemented by the exuberant Magnificat, complete with the extra seasonal movements which were removed after the first performance. The choir will be accompanied by a baroque orchestra, topped by the distinctive gleam of Bach’s high trumpet parts.
