Since then, no up-and-coming composer has been able to avoid Johann Sebastian Bach, the so-called fifth apostle. Everyone studies his works, many dedicate their own works to him. In addition to works by Johann Sebastian Bach himself, this sacred concert for voice and organ features compositions by Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy, Johannes Brahms, Max Reger, Antonin Dvořák, Joseph Rheinberger and others, exemplifying the great admirers of J. S. Bach. With Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy, we are also honouring the rediscoverer of Johann Sebastian Bach. For it was he who, around 100 years after Bach's death, heralded the great Bach renaissance with the revival of the "Matthäus-Passion".
The concert brings together two internationally renowned Bach interpreters: Bach Prize winner Klaus Mertens and Professor Gerhard Weinberger, the only organist in the world to have recorded the complete organ works of Johann Sebastian Bach and Max Reger.

Organiser
Pfarrkirchenstiftung St. Philippus
The Pfarrkirchenstiftung St. Philippus is part of the Pfarrverband Laim. The associated church has a Jann organ from 1997 with 30 stops and an interesting altarpiece by Emil Wachter as well as works of art by Patrizia Karg. In 2019, bells from the Bachert bell foundry in the so-called Westminster motif (tone sequence: des'-ges'-as'-b') were installed in the free-standing bell tower. Church music is of great importance far beyond the boundaries of the parish. Performances of large orchestral masses from the Classical and Romantic periods to premières of modern sacred compositions in concert and liturgy take place regularly.
