Bach in the Dark - Music for Cello and Accordion at St. James Church Crypt

Bach in the Dark is back in the crypt for a second time in 2024!

Rachel is joined by her ‘musical brother’, the fabulous Anthony Schulz (and his accordion!) for a night full of beautiful music, laughter, music-making totally in the moment – and a re-release of Rachel and Anthony’s second recording ‘Mosaic’.

If you’ve never been to a concert of cello and accordion you’ll be treated to Bach, pieces inspired by Bach, a time of stillness by Bloch, a tango by Piazolla and some folk music that’ll get your toes tapping! There’s every sound imaginable, lots of smiling, flights of fancy with Anthony’s improvisations and music that will make your heart beat slower – something for everyone! The duo will also have remastered and have a limited release of their 2023 release ‘Mosaic’ for sale – so be prepared for a musical celebration!

What reviewers have said about the duo… “The audacity is wonderfully apparent from the very start in the unorthodox ensemble which Scott and Schulz comprise – ‘cello and piano accordion in duet. For such a pairing, the selection of works …. both reward the expectations of the listener and throws in a few well calculated surprises.”

The crypt will be open at 6.30pm, and a glass of wine (or non-alchoholic equivalent) will be offered to every patron. Ticket sales will STOP at 2pm on the day of the concert, and if there are any tickets available, they will be available at the doors of the crypt as you arrive.
