Join Polyphonic Voices on Sunday 22nd October for the world premiere of an Australian reconstruction by Dr Mark Smith of The Funeral Music for Prince Leopold of Anhalt-Köthen BWV 244a by J.S. Bach. This passion-like work is scored for SATB soloists, chamber choir, and a baroque orchestra of strings, recorders, flutes, oboes and continuo, and is considered to be a precursor to much of the music in Bach’s St Matthew Passion.
Featuring vocal soloists Katherine Norman (soprano), Max Riebl (counter-tenor), Robert Macfarlane (tenor) and Michael Leighton-Jones (bass), with the talented musicians of the Melbourne Baroque Orchestra.
