SUMMARY:Revolutionary Spring: In conversation with Professor Sir Christopher Clark
DESCRIPTION:Join us on Monday 22 May for a conversation with Sir Christopher Clark on his new book\, Revolutionary Spring: Fighting for a New World 1848-1849\, a dazzling account of 1848\, the year when seemingly out of a clear blue sky virtually every European state was overwhelmed by revolution. It marked a turning point that shaped much of modern European history\, a year with which Clark draws explicit parallels with unrest in Europe today. \nChristopher Clark is one of the most revered historians of 19th century continental Europe working today\, and author of the international bestseller Sleepwalkers\, published 2012. He is Regius Professor of History at the University of Cambridge and his books include The Politics of Conversion\, Kaiser Wilhelm II\, Iron Kingdom\, Time and Power and Prisoners of Time. He was knighted in 2015. \nThe event is generously being hosted by the Austrian Embassy and will take place at 18 Belgrave Square\, London\, SW1X 8PQ. Doors will open at 6pm BST for a 6.30pm start. The discussion will last an hour and will be followed by a reception. The event will conclude at 9pm. \nYou can watch the event video here:

SUMMARY:Concert at Barbican Hall - Berliner Barock Solisten/Kapelis
DESCRIPTION:BGA members have been given the unique opportunity to attend this event free of charge. Register quickly to avoid disappointment!  \nThe Berliner Barock Solisten and pianist Alexandros Kapelis come together for Bach’s six concertos for solo keyboard and orchestra: a tour-de-force not seen on the concert stage in recent memory. \nBoth the Berlin orchestra and Johann Sebastian Bach represent pinnacles of German culture that will be showcased on one of the UK’s preeminent concert stages\, Barbican Hall. Comprised of virtuosic soloists from the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra\, the Berliner Barock Solisten have created a unique approach to performing music of the 17th and 18th centuries. They’re joined by pianist Alexandros Kapelis for his Barbican debut\, giving us a rare opportunity to hear these Bach masterpieces in one go. \nA pianist who ‘plays the classics with astonishing taste’ (Martha Argerich\, Classica Magazine)\, Kapelis is the first in 17 years to record this set in its entirety. Alongside the Berliner Barock Solisten\, in all their ‘precise\, polished perfection’ (Gramophone)\, we’ll hear Bach’s landmark concertos in full colour. \nProgramme \nJohann Sebastian Bach \nConcerto for keyboard and orchestra in D major\, BWV 1054 \nConcerto for keyboard and orchestra in A major\, BWV 1055 \nConcerto for keyboard and orchestra in D minor\, BWV 1052 \nConcerto for keyboard and orchestra in E major\, BWV 1053 \nConcerto for keyboard and orchestra in F minor\, BWV 1056 \nConcerto for keyboard and orchestra in G minor\, BWV 1058 \nMonday\, May 29   \n19:30 \nBarbican Hall  \nAddress: Barbican Centre\, Silk Street\, London EC2Y 8DS \n
