2024-2025 Season

​​​

Our next event will be a concert performance of Henry Purcell's wonderful opera "Dido & Aeneas" on 14th June in Lewes Town Hall.  Tickets will be on sale from this website soon.

​

Our performance of Bach's St Matthew Passion was a resounding success, with comments of

"a triumph!", "superb playing!", "amazing soloists" and "the best performance I have heard the East Sussex Bach Choir sing".  We also enjoyed spending time with & performing with our friends from Kantoerei Hochrhein from Waldshut. A large group of ESBC singers travelled to Waldshut for a return joint performance on Palm Sunday.

We are pleased to include on the Programme Notes of this website notes kindly provided by Richard Wigmore, Radio 3 presenter and lecturer.

​​

East Sussex Bach Choir has also presented 4 exciting linked events over the last two weeks, all of which have been very successful.

​Education Project

In addition to all our concerts & events, we have been working closely with local primary and secondary schools to bring the music of Bach and especially that of the St Matthew Passion to their students. Our collaboration has involved directly supporting groups in schools to learn more about Bach and the Passion. We will also welcome these groups and other students from local schools to join rehearsals to learn and appreciate how musicians and singers collaborate to produce a performance of a one of the greatest works in the classical repertoire. We hope that by sharing our expertise in, and love for, this wonderful music, young people may develop real enthusiasm for it and enrich their musical knowledge.
