This intimate chamber concert from Allegri Ensemble presents musical treasures from the German church tradition in the generation before Bach. Accompanied throughout by a baroque instrumental ensemble Allegri performs the choral music that influenced Bach himself.
The program features compositions from 17th century masters Dietrich Buxtehude Michael Praetorius and Johann Sebastian's older cousins Johann Christoph Bach and Johann Michael Bach. There is also a gorgeous instrumental suite by Johann Pachelbel – though not including his well-known Canon! The concert features a rarely-heard treat: Bach's own energetic motet Lobet Den Herrn.
The concert takes place in the beautiful Salon in Hobart's Hedberg complex giving the audience an opportunity for close connection with the musicians. Allegri Ensemble will present two performances of this exciting program and seats will be strictly limited.
