John Eliot Gardiner leads the Bach Marathon day, conducting the Monteverdi Choir and the English Baroque Soloists in two Bach cantatas – Singet dem Herrn ein neues Lied BWV225, and Christ lag in Todesbanden BWV 4 – and the evening performance of the B minor Mass.

During the afternoon, Mullova will play the Partita no.2 in D minor BWV1004, and Gerhardt will perform the Cello Suite no.6 in D major BWV1012. Other solo performers include pianist Joanna MacGregor and organist John Butt.
