Johann Sebastian Bach’s Suite No. 2 in B minor, BWV 1067, is one of the most beloved orchestral works of the Baroque repertoire. Composed in the early 18th century, the suite is written for flute, strings, and basso continuo, with the flute taking a brilliant and expressive solo role. The work opens with a majestic French-style overture, followed by a sequence of elegant dance movements, including Rondeau, Sarabande, Bourrée, Polonaise, and the famous Badinerie. The final movement, light and virtuosic, has become one of Bach’s most recognizable pieces. Throughout the suite, Bach combines refined courtly style with lively rhythmic energy and intricate counterpoint. The result is a composition that balances grace and brilliance, offering both technical display and deep musical charm.

 

Program and cast

Sainte Chapelle Paris Tickets

he Sainte-Chapelle (Holy Chapel) is a royal medieval Gothic chapel, located near the Palais de la Cité, on the Île de la Cité in the heart of Paris, France.

Begun some time after 1239 and consecrated on 26 April 1248,[1] the Sainte-Chapelle is considered among the highest achievements of the Rayonnant period of Gothic architecture. Its erection was commissioned by King Louis IX of France to house his collection of Passion Relics, including Christ's Crown of Thorns - one of the most important relics in medieval Christendom.

Along with the Conciergerie, the Sainte-Chapelle is one of the earliest surviving buildings of the Capetian royal palace on the Île de la Cité. Although damaged during the French revolution, and restored in the 19th century, it retains one of the most extensive in-situ collections of 13th-century stained glass anywhere in the world.
