London Chamber Orchestra and friends, with Ksenija Sidorova (accordion)

Accordionist Ksenija Sidorova, is a completely captivating performer and, if you haven’t already seen her in action, this is your chance to put that right! In this intimate and informal concert – the second in our autumn series at Cadogan Hall – we’ll explore the impact of 18th century composer JS Bach on contemporary music. With her accordion mastery, Ksenija will bring to life the art of chaconnes, a musical form that Bach mastered; defined by a short, repetitive bass-line accompanied by a series of variations. You will also witness the UK premiere of Sergey Akhunov‘s concerto ‘Chaconne’, composed for accordion, strings, and percussion.

The cherry on top will be a typically electric and immersive London Chamber Orchestra performance of the unmatchable Brandenburg No 3 by Bach himself.
