Bath Bachfest
20 February at 19:00
The opening performance by this year’s resident festival ensemble is bookended by Bach’s great contemporary, Handel. Handel’s rarely heard oboe concerto, performed by Nicholas Daniel, follows Bach’s famous cantata ‘Ich habe genug’, sung by star countertenor Reginald Mobley, who received a standing ovation at the 2025 BBC Proms.
