Considered to be among Bach’s greatest achievements, Bach cello suites are being performed by cellist Lucie Kucharova at the Oratory of St Francis church, Valletta, today at noon.

As usual in a baroque musical suite, after the prelude which begins each suite, all the other movements are based around baroque dance types. The cello suites are structured in six movements each – prelude, allemande, courante, sarabande, two minuets or two bourrées or two gavottes, and a final gigue.

Tickets can be obtained from the venue itself half an hour before the concert begins.

Proceeds in aid of the restoration of the church. For more details, call 7968 0952 or e-mail: baroccomalta@gmail.com.
