As the day breaks and birdsong surrounds Samuel Worth Chapel, Bach’s hugely popular Goldberg Variations, will greet the dawn. Intricate counterpoint and life-affirming spirituality are the hallmarks of this most intimate of works presented in a breathtaking, conversational arrangement for violin, viola and cello. Legend has it these Variations were written for a sleepless Count: this early start will live long in your dreams.
Music in the Round's sunrise concerts at the sensitively restored Grade-II* listed chapel always sell out, so for their 20th anniversary, Ensemble 360 wanted to give more people a chance to join them for a special early morning experience.
This year, the Sunrise concert will be immediately repeated with the same programme, so you can choose to join for Bach at dawn or Bach at breakfast!
