Bach’s Universal Light
We are delighted to announce that Bach Akademie Australia will present another concert on the stage of Melbourne Digital Concert Hall on Friday October 2 at 7pm as part of their Sydney Spring Season. For so many of us, 2020 has been exceptionally hard thus far. With this in mind, our journey travels from darkness into light through Bach’s universal genius. ‘In memoriam’ for 2020, we begin with his haunting early cantata ‘Actus Tragicus’. Paring the music back to just one instrument, Bach’s solo works are featured drawing us towards a turning point of hope and light. And no composition of his urges us onwards towards joy more than his Brandenburg Concerto No. 4.
