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
East Sussex Bach Choir gave a wonderful performance of Purcell's "Fairy Queen " on June 6th in Lewes Town Hall. Despite the dismal weather, the concert inspired a feeling of great enjoyment and fun in the instrumental dances & interludes, the lovely solo singing and the often delicate choral
singing.
Our new season will begin in December with a concert of Britten's "St Nicholas" together with Schubert's Mass in G in the beautiful St Andrew's Church, Alfriston. The choir will continue it's
association with the Friends of Victoria Hospital, Lewes with a charity carol concert at St Michael's Church in Lewes. We will return to Lewes in March for a performance of JS Bach's great St John Passion.
ESBC will be involved in this year's Britten Festival in Lewes. You can find further details about the Festival from https://thebaroquecollective.org.uk/category/britten-events/
