Bach in the Dark: music for cello and piano accordion
Friday 25 October from 7pm to 8:15pm Saturday 26 October from 7pm to 8:15pm
Bach in the Dark is back in the magical space of St James Church crypt.
Cellist Rachel Scott is joined by her ‘musical brother’, the fabulous Anthony Schulz (and his accordion!) for a night full of beautiful music, laughter, music-making totally in the moment – and a re-release of Rachel and Anthony’s second recording ‘Mosaic’.
If you’ve never been to a concert of cello and accordion you’ll be treated to Bach, pieces inspired by Bach, a time of stillness by Bloch, a tango by Piazolla and some folk music that’ll get your toes tapping! There’s every sound imaginable, lots of smiling, flights of fancy with Anthony’s improvisations and music that will make your heart beat slower – something for everyone! The duo will also have remastered and have a limited release of their 2023 release ‘Mosaic’ for sale – so be prepared for a musical celebration!
What reviewers have said about the duo… “The audacity is wonderfully apparent from the very start in the unorthodox ensemble which Scott and Schulz comprise – ‘cello and piano accordion in duet. For such a pairing, the selection of works …. both reward the expectations of the listener and throws in a few well calculated surprises.”
Door to the crypt open at 6.30pm. Tickets are strictly limited. Seating is un-numbered.
