Tom Allen: J.S. Bach's Long Walk in the Snow

Renowned author, musician & presenter, Tom Allen and friends tell the musical story of ‘How the Great Man Got That Way’. At 18 years old, in his first job and not composing much at all yet, the young Johann Sebastian got into such trouble that all he could do was to walk away. J.S. Bach’s Long Walk in the Snow takes you on a 400 km journey to a glittering port city with street fights, big business, the father figure he didn’t know he needed and, quite possibly, love.

With guest musicians, violist Dave Harding, Jazz and Hindustani classical singer Shruti Ramani and pianist & conductor, Leslie Dala.
