Dei Gratia is a collective of professional musicians who specialise in Baroque (17th- and 18th-century) music on period instruments. Much well-known Baroque music, (e.g George Frideric Handel's Messiah or J.S. Bach's St. John Passion BWV 245) was originally composed for performance in a Christian context and Dei Gratia seeks to return to this spirit of worship, breathing life into their performance of these works as an act of praise. The members of Dei Gratia are all active Christians with a heart for using their musical gifts to serve churches and communities, and to encourage performers and audiences alike to think again about the glorious inspiration of these masterpieces.
Dei Gratia have collaborated with churches across the UK and performed at festivals such as at the Greenbelt Festival and Soul in the City. We recently visited Denmark for a performance of the St John Passion and continue to collaborate with choral societies across London and the rest of the UK. Our performances range from full-scale concerts, to participation in church services, and much more.
Dei Gratia means = by the grace of God. |
