Concert poster shows Lübeck St Mary’s where Buxtehude was organist 1668-1707. Bach visited 1705 during Abendmusik season & our prog features some of Buxtehude’s music that Bach might have heard during his stay. We hope that our audience will find it as impressive as Bach did.

All that time this song was best: winding up to those final high notes in Ian Schofield’s ‘Benedicamus Domino’ at the United Reformed Church in Havant last Saturday.
