Ich Habe Genug  is among Bach’s best loved cantatas. Originally for bass solo and oboe obligato,  in this performance  we will hear Bach’s own arrangement  of the work for soprano,  flute obligato and strings. Cantata 150 is considered to be one of the earliest of Bach’s cantatas to survive. Leading international early music ensemble Camerata Kilkenny is joined by the German soprano Anja Lipfert and her colleagues from the Calmus Ensemble for the grand finale of the second Barrow River Arts Festival. The programme also includes one of Biber's great Mystery Sonatas  for violin and basso continuo with violinist Maya Homburger and Rachel Beckett as  baroque flute soloist in Bach's sparkling B minor Orchestral Suite (with its famous  Badinerie movement).
