Bathurst Chamber Orchestra - An Easter Concert

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
