2026 Play Day: J S Bach - The Art of Fugue

  • St Martin's Church Mortimer Road London, England, NW10 5QN United Kingdom (map)

Join the Nonesuch Orchestra and their conductor Dan Shilladay for a journey through the labyrinth of J S Bach’s Art of Fugue. Written during the composer’s final years but left incomplete at his death in 1750, it stands as a mysterious compendium of his art, exploring every facet of counterpoint and based on his endlessly inventive transformations of a single overarching theme. For whom was it intended? Was it even meant to be performed?  The fugues of the collection readily lend themselves to performance by strings. Join us as we venture within…

For orchestral string players of Grade 8 standard and above.
