Mahan Esfahani, Avi Avital

A unique meeting of minds at the Bristol Proms, as harpsichord and mandolin face off.

Mandolin virtuoso Avi Avital and harpsichord wizard Mahan Esfahani show the Britsol Proms exactly what Bach means to them in an invigorating show.

One Iranian, one Israeli - and one shared love of Bach. That's what's behind this ingenious pairing, which will take the Bristol Proms audience on a tour of some of the great baroque master's finest works.

With a focus on the heritage of their respective instruments (with roots that stretch back to the renaissance and ancient Persia), expect to be dazzled not only by the virtuosity of this dynamic pairing, but by their shared devotion to their music.

Part of #BristolProms. Last year's inaugural Bristol Proms - exploring the creative possibilities of digital technology and encouraging the audience to relax and participate - struck a new path towards the future of classical concerts.
