Thuringia Bach Festival

BACH >> FORWARD

Early Musik - Modern Style

Early music is old fashioned? Certainly not, if it is newly arranged, well combined, surprisingly presented.

BACH >> FORWARD presents classical music in a new format - from November '24 to April'25, in Thuringia!

PAY WHAT YOU CAN

Do you feel like going to our concerts but don't know what to expect? No problem, be curious and discover the adventure of classical music.

For our tickets, we suggest a reasonable pricing of 25 Euros per ticket, but if you cannot afford this, you have the chance to correct the numbers in our system in both directions. This way, one can decide what you are willing and/or able to pay – because for us, one thing is clear: Be with us anyway, enjoy the music!

L'ACHÉRON: BACH DANCES TANGO

Nadia and Lili Boulanger: two strong women who influenced music history. Nadia Boulanger led Astor Piazzolla to his musical roots, the Argentinian tango, and she shared a love of Renaissance and Baroque music with her sister Lili, who died young. The concert revolves around these three figures: viol consort meets bandonéon, baroque meets tango.
