A masterclass in Bach’s organ music at Sheffield’s Upper Chapel
Experience the architecture, brilliance, and hidden symbolism of Johann Sebastian Bach’s organ music in this compelling afternoon recital performed by acclaimed organist David Goode.

Taking place in the resonant surroundings of Sheffield’s historic Upper Chapel, this concert explores some of Bach’s most profound and best-loved works for organ — revealing the composer’s extraordinary command of pattern, number, and musical symbolism.
The programme
David Goode presents a carefully curated selection spanning Bach’s greatest organ collections:
Prelude and Fugue in E flat, BWV 552
Chorale Preludes from Clavierübung III
Canonic Variations on “Vom Himmel hoch”, BWV 769
Movements from The Art of Fugue
Chorales from the Orgelbüchlein
Together, these masterpieces invite listeners to uncover the secret structures and messages woven into Bach’s music, while marvelling at the expressive and architectural power of the organ.
About the performer
Praised for his “spectacular playing” by BBC Music Magazine, David Goode is widely regarded as one of the finest Bach interpreters of his generation. His Complete Bach recordings on Signum Classics have been hailed by Gramophoneas “notable for the flair, clarity and spontaneity that Goode brings to this timeless music”.

This recital offers a rare opportunity to hear Bach’s organ works performed by an artist deeply associated with the composer’s legacy.

Musical mirrors, patterns, and playful structure in a striking evening concert
Symmetries in Sound is a thought-provoking and beautifully crafted concert from Ensemble 360, exploring how composers across centuries have used symmetry, reflection, and musical games to create works of remarkable imagination and depth.

Presented in the resonant setting of Sheffield’s historic Upper Chapel, this evening forms part of Music in the Round Sheffield’s Percussion, Pattern & Primes weekend.
The programme
The concert brings together music that quite literally reflects, reverses, and mirrors itself:
Guillaume de Machaut – Ma fin est mon commencement (arr. for trio)
A medieval marvel performed forwards and then backwards.
Oliver Picforth – In Nomine (arr. for chamber ensemble)
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (attrib.) – Der Spiegel
A witty piece where two violinists read the same music — one upright, the other upside-down.
John Cage – Music of Changes, Book One
Arvo Pärt – Spiegel im Spiegel
A serene meditation on reflection and stillness.
Claude Debussy – Reflets dans l’eau
An impressionistic sound-world of shimmering musical reflections.
Béla Bartók – String Quartet No.4
A masterpiece of musical architecture, structured as a perfect arch.
Together, these works reveal how composers have long delighted in musical symmetry — from medieval puzzles to 20th-century modernism.
Why this concert stands out
A rare chance to hear concept-driven programming brought vividly to life
A blend of early music, modern classics, and bold contemporary ideas
Performed by one of Sheffield’s most celebrated chamber ensembles
