Wigmore Hall: October 1, 2010 and March 4, 2011

On Friday 1 October 2010 at 7.30pm in London's Wigmore Hall The King's Consort will perform a glorious programme of Bach's uplifting Lutheran Masses in G major (BWV 236) and G minor (BWV 235) alongside the brilliant Sinfonia and Concerto  from Cantata 35, Telemann's Ouverture Perpetuum mobile and a splendid Sanctus by Bach, after Kerll. The outstanding line-up of soloists includes sopranos Julie Cooper and Rebecca Outram, countertenors Robin Blaze and David Gould, tenors Charles Daniels and Mark Dobell, and basses Ben Davies and Philip Tebb, a colourful instrumental ensemble including Kati Debretzeni and Cecilia Bernardini violins, Dorothea Vogel viola, Joseph Crouch cello, Judith Evans double bass, Frances Norbury and Hannah McLaughlin oboe and Robert Quinney organ, with Robert King conducting.

 
Wigmore Hall's public booking for this concert is now open. Tickets are available by phone +44 (0)20 7935 2141 or online at www.wigmore-hall.org.uk

 

 
On Friday 4 March 2011 TKC is joined at Wigmore Hall by two of the finest and most-acclaimed singers working in Baroque music, British soprano Carolyn Sampson and Norwegian mezzo Tuva Semmingsen, in Couperin's vividly atmospheric Trois Leçons de Ténèbres. These richly dissonant settings of Jeremiah's bitterly anguished texts present music of an intensity and power that is quite unique in Baroque sacred repertoire.

Wigmore Hall's public booking for this concert will open on December 1, 2010, but advance ticket reservations are already available through TKC's series membership scheme.
