An evening of 18th century music including a radiant Lutheran Mass and joyful Cantata by J.S. Bach, alongside music from Gluck's profoundly moving opera, Orfeo ed Euridice.

Orpheus, they say, made music so beautiful that even stones responded to his song. Many music lovers would say something similar about Johann Sebastian Bach, and tonight we bring two worlds together, in some of the 18th century’s most unforgettable music.
