Bach - Magnificat & Orchestral Suite No. 3 - Handel - Jubilate - Hertford Choral Society
25 October 2025, 18:00I played first trumpet with the period instrument orchestra Spiritato; we performed Handel’s Jubilate (HWV 279), as well as Bach’s Orchestral Suite No 3 in D major (BWV 1068) and Bach’s Magnificat in D (BWV 243) with Hertford Choral Society on Saturday 25 October 2025. The performance was directed by Manvinder Rattan and the orchestra was led by violinist George Clifford.
For me (and Sam Kinrade, playing third trumpet), the day began at 03:30 (UK time); we woke up in Antwerp, having performed Zelenka there with Vox Luminis yesterday. We travelled back to the UK via local train, Eurostar, London Underground (Victoria line), and National Rail to Hertford East. Will Russell, a founder of Spiritato, played second trumpet and Nick Cowling played timpani. We performed at All Saints Church in Hertford and the concert was well attended.
