Bach and His Roots - Ayres Extemporae with Hannah Ely (Soprano)

Winners of the 2024 York Early Music International Young Artists Competition, this talented trio present a programme focusing on the vocal and instrumental music of J.S. Bach and his predecessors: Erlebach, Biber, Schein, Buxtehude, and others. For this concert, they are joined by soprano Hannah Ely to explore the rich soundworld of the 17th and early-18th centuries, offering insight into the musical influences that shaped the style of the great master. Through tracing the artistic pathways that inspired Bach, whose mastery of counterpoint and profound expressiveness were deeply rooted in the innovations of his predecessors, Ayres Extemporae invite you to experience the foundational music that contributed to the rise of one of the most significant composers in history.

Parking at the Village Hall. Coffee and cakes will be available from 10.30am in the Village Hall in aid of St Peter’s Church. Local artworks also on sale.

Ayres Extemporae features Xenia Gogu (baroque violin), Víctor García García (cello piccolo) and Teresa Madeira (baroque cello).
