Welsh Camerata concert, 21 March 2026

“Study Bach, there you will find everything”

Johannes Brahms was fascinated by the work of earlier composers, none more than Johann Sebastian Bach, and urged his composition students to study the works of his musical idol. It is evident in Brahms’s choral motets (op 74 and op 110) that he was intimately familiar with Bach’s works in the genre.
Welsh Camerata performs these pieces alongside two of Bach’s motets - Jesu, meine Freude and Komm, Jesu, Komm - which stand at the pinnacle of choral writing. Hearing them side by side with the Brahms motets illuminates the relationship between these two great composers in a ‘conversation’ across two centuries.
Saturday 21 March, 7.30pm
Church of St Mary of the Angels, King’s Road, Cardiff CF11 9BX
Tickets: £14/£7 for under 18s, full-time students and benefit claimants. Available on the door or buy tickets online

Welsh Camerata has had its penultimate rehearsal for the concert in St Mary of the Angels a week on Saturday and we are all very excited to perform this programme of Bach and Brahms motets, which have more in common with each other than you might think. Here is a sneak preview of one of some Brahms, recorded at the rehearsal.
