WELCOME
We are the East Sussex Bach Choir. Our aim is to perform a varied repertoire of baroque and renaissance works to a very high standard. We engage professional soloists and high-quality period players to bring experience and excellence to our performances. We follow the practice of ‘historically informed performance’, getting as close as possible to the composer’s original intention. While the choir’s repertoire certainly includes the works of JS Bach and other baroque composers, it is by no means limited to these.
OUR NEWS
2024-2025 Season
Our final event of this season was a highly successful performance of music by Henry Purcell. The highlight of the concert was the singing of Rebecca Leggett. Her superb performance of Dido's Lament will long remain in the memories of everyone present.
It was also exciting for ESBC to be joined by the young singers of the Otter Consort from the University of Chichester Conservatoire, who not only sang 2 pieces as part of the programme, but also provided several excellent soloists in Dido & Aeneas.
