Please note this event will take place in the Great Hall at Lancaster University at 7.30pm (not in Lancaster Priory as advertised in our brochure).
We warmly welcome Jonathan Ferrucci’s return to Lancaster after his enchanting concert at the Priory in 2020, this time to the Great Hall for an evening of Bach.
The English Suites are a collection of six suites for keyboard by J.S.Bach and known for their complex musical structures. While the name suggests an English connection, it’s more likely a reference to their form, which shares similarities with French keyboard suites. Following the release of his debut album of the complete Bach Toccatas earlier this year, Jonathan wanted to continue his exploration of Bach with the more organised structures of the English Suites, which he will record in 2026.
Italian-Australian pianist Jonathan Ferrucci has given concerts as a soloist and chamber musician across Europe, Australia and the United States, performing in Wigmore Hall, Barbican Hall and Kings Place in London, Carnegie Weill Hall in New York and the Fazioli Concert Hall in Italy, among other venues.
“Those who play this music almost have to blend in with the composer, [… ]Ferrucci manages to do this with great self-evident. [… ] Bach is something like his daily bread. Play it, hear it, breathe it. Bernhard Neuhoff | BR Classic
