From Leipzig to Bath: Bach Cantata Cycle

Back by popular demand, choral maestro David Hill MBE directed our annual workshop

At our 2025 choral workshop we focused on Bach’s Cantata Die Elenden sollen essen (BWV 75), part of the Leipzig Cantata Cycle which also enthralled last year’s workshop attendees, and Jauchzet, frohlocket from the Christmas Oratorio (BWV 248).

As Musical Director of The Bach Choir, David is well-known for his exacting performance standards, sensitive musicality and wry sense of humour – ideal qualities in a workshop director. We had a great day of fun, camaraderie and musical learning under his leadership.

For the final sing-through we were joined by Benedict Collins Rice (tenor) and two choral scholars from the Oxford Bach Soloists – Daisy Livesey (soprano) and Hera Protopapas Wettergren (mezzo-soprano).
