Bach and the Bard – Beechworth Town Hall

Hothouse are bringing Bach and the Bard to Beechworth Town Hall.
Bach and the Bard is an hour-long concert that blurs the lines of expression between words and music. It connects the words of William Shakespeare to music by J.S. Bach, Pablo Casals, Michael Praetorius and Paradis. Presented by cellist Rachel Scott, brilliant percussionist Ben Sibson and actors from Sport for Jove, you will be taken on a journey for the hour you’ll be in the performance space.

HotHouse is delighted to welcome to our region the celebrated Shakespeare-based company Sport for Jove, who earlier this year won Best Ensemble and Best Director (Damien Ryan) at the 2025 Sydney Theatre Awards for their epic, critically acclaimed cycle of Shakespeare’s history plays The Player Kings.

Don’t miss this extraordinary opportunity to hear some of the country’s finest musicians and actors perform live, in our communities, celebrating the incomparable music of Shakespeare’s poetry. Bach and the Bard promises to be an hour that will stay with you long after the performers leave the stage.

Expect moments of magic.
