Bach's Cello Suites performed live by candlelight in Piccadilly

Step into the candlelight as cellist Tabitha Selley brings a beautiful selection of Bach's Cello Suites to the Baroque surroundings of St James's Church in the heart of Piccadilly.

The programme opens with the famous Prelude in G major from Cello Suite No. 1 before moving into three of Bach's later suites, giving you the chance to hear different sides of his extraordinary writing for solo cello.

Hear Cello Suite No. 4 in E-flat major before the deeper sound of Cello Suite No. 5 in C minor. Cello Suite No. 6 in D major completes a programme built entirely around one musician, one cello and Bach's music.

Tabitha Selley performs the programme unaccompanied, letting every detail of the cello ring through the historic church. Add the glow of candlelight and you're a world away from the busy West End just outside.

Whether Bach's Cello Suites are already firmly on your playlist or you're trying solo classical music for the first time, take your seat, switch off for an hour and let the cello do the talking.
