Friends' Booking from 10 Aug 2026. General Booking from 24 Aug 2026.In Echo: Gawain Glenton cornetto, direction Bojan Cicic violin Rachel Byrt viola Emily White sackbut, violin Bill Hunt violone Silas Wollston organNarrator: Horatio ClareBach walked the ancient Salt Road between Luneburg and Lubeck on his way to meet Buxtehude in 1705 and the music of these two towns is celebrated here in an evocative fusion of music and poetry, and of journeys real and imagined.Bach was only 20 and at the start of his career when he made the pilgrimage but the four months he spent in the master's company ensured the continuation of the Protestant baroque music tradition begun in the previous century. The other composers in the programme form part of that tradition and their music would have been in the young composer's head while he walked. (C)Ash Mills/Michael Vogt/Ensemble in Echo
