Continuo Connect — Concert // Zarek: Bs and Bees

Baroque Music by JS Bach and Buxtehude with Rebecca Harris Violin, Jan Zahourek Viola da gamba, Oliver John Ruthven Harpsichord.

As smitten as Bach was with the music of his hero Buxtehude, so are we with both their work. Join us if you feel the same! And if you need convincing, we are sure that a jovial evening in the company of these two composers will do the trick.

Our latest venue 'Rocket Van' is a local business and a community hub all rolled into one, that offers regular live events. The Box Shop Bar will be open from 6pm to 11pm on concert day, serving local beers, wines, cocktails and the best toasties in London!

The harmony of the Bee hive, the geometry of the honey-comb, and the vibrational dance is mirrored in the counterpoint and melodic invention of two composers whose cross- pollination led to the flowering of a style which defines German music of the High Baroque.
