This is the first of two exciting Bach programmes in 2012. On this occasion 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. As a contrast the programme will also include motets from the sixteenth and twentieth centuries: looking back to Gabrieli and Schütz, and forwards to
Pärt and Lauridsen.
Based in Surrey, the Ripieno Choir is an established ensemble of thirty voices specialising in early music, which has performed in Europe, South Africa and the USA.
