In this pre-concert talk, Robert Hugill introduces Bach’s six suites for solo cello. These are some of the most frequently performed and recognisable solo compositions ever written for cello, yet there is so much we don't know about them. Robert goes on an exploration to find out more about the background, and what we actually know about when, for whom and where they were written.

Founded in the 1880s, our chamber music concert series is the longest-running of its kind in Europe. Conway Hall was purpose-built in 1929 to host concerts and lectures, and they have continued here until the present day. The ethos of “affordable classical music for all” still remains.
Conway Hall hosts a wide variety of talks, concerts, exhibitions, courses, performances, community and social events. It is also renowned as a hub for free speech and independent thought, hosting suffragettes, political radicals, scientists, philosophers, artists, performers; campaign, charities and other non-profit organisations.
