In this concert, one piece from each of the places where Johann Sebastian Bach lived will be performed. Bach by Bike was created with the idea of taking people on bicycles through the wonderful places where Bach lived, which are within cycling distance, and playing Bach's music where it was composed. Now Bach's places of life can also be experienced musically in Munich. The programme leads through the ever-advancing development of his work, just as Bach himself probably travelled most of his life on foot (at least in his younger years) and incorporated these journeys through the landscapes of Thuringia and Saxony into his music.
Bach's musical and geographical routes come to life again. Music and cultural history come together and illustrate how Bach's immortal music and exciting life can touch us today.
Bach by Bike Ensemble:
