Continuo Connect — Candlelight Advent Concert

An atmospheric Advent Candlelight Concert in the splendid High Room at Lamport hall.

Beautiful 18th-century music for baroque oboe and trumpet with voices and organ, including chorale preludes by the great JS Bach, as well as music by his contemporary Georg Kauffmann (Bach's rival for the post of Capellmeister in Leipzig) and his pupils Ludwig Krebs and Gottfried Homilius.
