The Leipzig Legacy

"Led vivaciously by violinist Kinga Ujszászi" (The Times), Spiritato explore the creative impact of Leipzig’s musical world on the instrumental music of J. S. Bach and his contemporaries.

Energetic dances and elegant melodies, including Bach’s much-loved 'Air on the G string', combine in this feast of orchestral music, crowned with the glorious sound of trumpets and drums.

Producing unique, research-based performance projects, avoiding well-trodden paths wherever possible, Spiritato actively seeks to promote forgotten composers and bring their music to a wider audience.
