Bach Academy Brugge 2027

‘… in Sebastian, there is everything together …’ This quote from Felix Mendelssohn is surely no exaggeration. In Johann Sebastian Bach, music reaches its most perfect form. Every fugue, every chorale setting bears witness to an architectural clarity that seamlessly unites technique and emotion. That perfection makes his work timeless; it transcends fashion, place and generation. Bach’s music seems composed not only for his own time, but for all time. Artists and ensembles such as Collegium Vocale Gent, Ensemble Diderot, a nocte temporis, Jan Michiels & Inge Spinette, the young OVNI Baroque, Il Convito & Noé Soulier and the idiosyncratic duo Draksler & Masecki carry his music a little further into eternity.
