Book tickets for a truly exceptional evening hosted by the London Bach Society in collaboration with the British-German Association. This unmissable event as part of the London Bach Society’s 2025 Bachfest promises a rich blend of history, music, and international connection. On Tuesday, 4 November 2025, at 7.00pm, we are organising a musical evening at St. George’s Church, Hanover Square, a historic setting where Handel once worshipped, now marking its 300th anniversary.
This year is filled with remarkable musical milestones. We honour 275 years since the death of Johann Sebastian Bach and 300 years since the première of the 1725 version of his St. John Passion. The evening also marks Felix Mendelssohn’s Todestag, offering a poignant moment of remembrance.
We are thrilled to welcome Prof. Dr. Michael Maul, Artistic Director of the Leipzig Bachfest, who will deliver a keynote address followed by an engaging Q&A session. The evening's recital – curated by award-winning German bass Florian Störtz – features a compelling programme of works by Bach and Brahms, offering a rare musical experience that bridges centuries and cultures. A post-recital reception will follow, offering the perfect opportunity to connect with fellow guests and celebrate.
The London Bach Society, founded in 1946 by Paul Steinitz, is a society devoted to performing the music of Johann Sebastian Bach (1685–1750) with small, professional forces, using period instruments in order to obtain an authentic style of interpretation. Every year, the Society organise a Bach Fest in London.
The British-German Association is a British charity that promotes friendship and mutual understanding between the UK and Germany.
