Johann Adam Hiller, successor to Johann Sebastian Bach, praised Bach as the strongest piano and organ player of his time. Bach is not only a great church musician and organ composer but also intensively explored the harpsichord, performing concerts with his sons for three or four solo keyboard instruments at the Zimmermann coffee house in Leipzig. The Bach Festival for the chest organ will feature four organists showcasing this rich sound with up to four organs.

Bach ist der Anfang und das Ende aller Musik, hat Max Reger einmal gesagt. Und diese Wahrheit erweist sich stets aufs Neue – auch in diesem Kammerkonzert des hr-Sinfonieorchesters im Rahmen der Wettenberger Winterkonzerte. Aus dem unerschöpflichen Kosmos von Bachs »Musikalischem Opfer«, seiner Duo-Sonaten und Konzerten ist es erfüllt. Man darf es einfach nicht verpassen. Die Musiker*innen des hr-Sinfonieorchesters Frankfurt präsentieren dabei mit der Gast-Cembalistin Flóra Fábri auch ein Konzert für die rare Oboe d'amore sowie das 5. der berühmten »Brandenburgischen Konzerte«.

“It's always very special to share wonderful music in one place with musicians who really care about it, and with an audience that is open to getting to know us and our relationship with music,” says our artist in residence, cellist Sheku Kanneh-Mason. One of these musicians and a good friend is jazz pianist Harry Baker. He wanted to perform a concert evening with him that fits perfectly into the festival: An exploration of music between Bach, Lianne La Havas and Pat Metheny.
