We are very pleased to announce that Gustav Leonhardt has accepted our invitation to play at St John’s Downshire Hill next year, on Saturday 28 April.

It will be a chance to hear a master playing in our home church. The intimate, noble interior of St John’s, and its splendid acoustics, make it an entirely appropriate venue. He will give a recital of music of his choice, mainly from the seventeenth century in Europe. Gustav Leonhardt most definitely needs no introduction, but we can add a footnote to his curriculum vitae – that, with his wife Marie Leonhardt-Amsler, he is a patron of The Bach Players. Tickets for this concert, and for all our concerts in 2012, will go on sale early in the new year.
