JS Bach: "The Fifth Evangelist"

Bank Holiday Monday, 5th May, 2pm. An illustrated talk in the church by Gavin Barrett

The latest in our Bank Holiday fundraisers is a fascinating talk by one of the organists at King Charles the Martyr, Gavin Barrett, with musical illustrations, some of which will be recordings and others played live on the organ by another member of the organ team, David Williams.

Bach saw his purpose, as musician, theologian and teacher, to illuminate the words of Scripture and to strengthen Faith. That his music is regarded by composers, since his death in 1750, as incomparable attests to its profundity. “Bach is the father and we are the children” said Mozart.
