Bathurst Chamber Orchestra - An Easter Concert
This event has passed Get tickets
Event description
Come and hear how the passion of the Easter story inspired great composers! From the devout
Lutheran, Johann Sebastian Bach, who composed a new cantata every week for one job, to the
prolific Joseph Haydn, commissioned to compose the suitably solemn and dramatic “Seven Last
Words of Christ”, and finally, to the Russian nationalist, Rimsky-Korsakov, who infused his Russian
Easter Overture with populist Orthodox melodies of the time. A poignant spiritual and some
glorious flute playing from Emma Knott will be heard as well - please join us.
Tickets will also be available at the door
