Musikfest Bremen Atelier

Musikfest Bremen Atelier brings world-renowned artists connected to the festival to work on specific repertoires with selected young musicians from all over the world in one-week Ateliers.

Lionel Meunier will lead the Atelier “Wege zu Bach III” in Ganderkesee.

Here the combination of period instruments and vocals with the organ as continuo-instrument are central to finding out which composers were formative for the development of Bach. Incorporating the Schnitger organ, this year’s instalment focuses on the legendary Abendmusiken in Lübeck.
During his tenure as organist of St. Mary’s Church, Franz Tunder initially introduced these as organ-only concerts for the city’s merchants, separate from the church services.
His successor and son-in-law Dieterich Buxtehude developed them into a prestigious concert series with a large instrumental and vocal ensemble, which attracted substantial audiences from near and far as if by magic – including the young Bach.
