The art of improvisation was highly valued at the time J.S. Bach embarked on his prodigious career. The 18th-century German musician was himself a master not only of composition but also of this creative form. BACHcelona pays homage to the work and spirit of the Baroque virtuoso this month, with the first Barcelona music festival dedicated to his brilliance, celebrated through an array of activities and concerts. There will be chamber music and instrumental performances of Bach’s compositions, as well as song and dance productions.

The festival will take place in beautiful historical venues across the city, including La Pedrera, Basílica de Santa Maria del Pi and Recinte Modernista de Sant Pau. Tickets must be purchased in advance and are available on the festival website.

BACHCELONA is organized by Bach Zum Mitsigen, a vibrant Bach community established in Barcelona that strives to bring Bach out of the somewhat stuffy setting of the concert hall and instead focus on the participatory, the interpretative, the living experience of Bach.
