Bach on Sunday 2024
The theme of Bach on Sunday 2024 is the city of Leipzig, the city where Bach lived and worked from 1723 until his death in 1750. But Leipzig is also the city of composers Felix Mendelssohn, Robert and Clara Schumann, Max Reger, Gustav Mahler, Richard Wagner and Sigfrid Karg-Elert. They all feature in Bach on Sunday.
The final concert on 11 August will be given by Aart Bergwerff, Organist of the Grote Kerk Breda. This final concert will again be a Bach on Sunday Special with an exceptional programme, as you have come to expect from Aart Bergwerff.
Lighthearted Bach lecture
The concerts in Bach on Sunday are introduced with a mini Bach lecture by Wim Thijs, Bach fanatic and self-proclaimed blabbermouth. For Bach on Sunday, he is the affable host, effortlessly drawing everyone into the wonderful world of Bach.
