The final concert in MusicFor's second series, Music for a Winter's Eve. Artistic Director Daniel Collins (The Sixteen) directs an orchestra and soloists, all recent graduates from music college, in a performance of two of Bach's most exhilarating cantatas, Ich freue mich in dir, and Wachet Auf. All the performers are playing one-to-a-part, so this will be a wonderful evening of chamber music in the intimate setting of Holy Trinity Church. The programme also contains two other works: Bach's uplifting motet Lobet den Herrn, and the first movement of his Oboe Concerto in F major, played by fantastic oboist Zoe Cartlidge. Mince pies and mulled wine will be available from the bar!

Please note: this concert is on a Wednesday, not a Thursday like the other concerts in the series.

MusicFor is a new concert series aimed at giving young musicians performance opportunities. It is currently based at Holy Trinity, Stroud Green, and the first series "Music for an Autumn Evening"  consists of four concerts, each involving exceptionally talented young musicians. We have an up-and-coming string quartet comprised of award-winning musicians, a wonderful soprano who is newly graduated from the Royal Academy of Music, and a violinist who is breaking into the world's top baroque ensembles. The Artistic Director is Daniel Collins, a member of the internationally renowned choir The Sixteen. Please see http://www.musicfor.co.uk for more details
