Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment – What is Light?

JS Bach Cantata: Wachet! Betet! (‘Watch! Pray!’), BWV 70
Steven Devine director, harpsichord
Rowan Pierce soprano
Ciara Hendrick alto
Tom Robson tenor
James Newby baritone

with Professor Sir John Pendry FRS, The Blackett Laboratory, Imperial College London

The music: It’s the end of the world as we know it as Bach explores the Last Judgement with powerful trumpets creating a dark sense of foreboding.

The science: Our guest, on the other hand, brings light to proceedings. Sir John Pendry is a world-leading expert in his field who will explore the elusive question, ‘what is light?’.


Bach, the Universe and Everything is Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment’s very own Sunday service for inquiring and curious minds; a place to bond with music lovers and revel in the wonders of science.
