Weddings and Parties over Coffee

Solo Bach Cantatas with Miriam Allan

Internationally acclaimed Australian soprano Miriam Allan returns home for a special Bach program that pairs his poignant Wedding Cantata with the witty Coffee Cantata. Miriam will perform alongside her father, baritone Christopher Allan, in this comic gem about a disgruntled father and his coffee-obsessed daughter.

Miriam Allan has achieved international fame, performing as soloist with leading ensembles including Les Arts Florissants, English Baroque Soloists and Concerto Copenhagen, and singing at the funeral of HRH Prince Philip, the Duke of Edinburgh.

Experience authenticity and true artistry as this award-winning star brings Bach’s brilliance to life.
