BEING MRS BACH  
JESSICA DUCHEN – Author/Narrator
STEVEN DEVINE – Harpsichord

Married to J.S. Bach at the age of 20, Anna Magdalena Wilcke was a gifted singer, soon becoming stepmother, mother, copyist, manager and more. We learn about the ecstasies and tragedies of her hectic life with her husband, alongside his music.

Leading classical music correspondent for national media, Jessica Duchen’s narrated concerts combine words and music. Commissions include works for Garsington Opera and numerous international festivals.  Steven Devine is one of the U.K.’s preeminent harpsichordists and will perform important works by JS Bach including his vibrant Italian Concerto.
