Celebrating Bach with the Academy of Ancient Music: Vilnius Festival

O wydarzeniu

Vilnius welcomes British Baroque experts – the Academy of Ancient Music and renowned harpsichordist and orchestra director Richard Egarr. In Celebrating Bach, featuring Bach’s vibrant concerti and suites gleaming with all baroque adornments, the seasoned early music masters will verify that Bach’s music is immortal.

The art of Bach is an omnipotent musical archetype, model or simply a prototype, which stood as an example for many other compositions. Bach’s multidimensional, infinite and immortal vision made him an unsurpassed composer generating inspiration and inexhaustible creative enthusiasm. “As genial creator as one could be, he will always be the next after Bach”, said 20th‐century composer Paul Hindemith.
