Thüringer Bachwochen – artist-in-residence
The Thüringer Bachwochen festival is internationally renowned. More than 50 concerts are programmed and organised in various towns in the Land of Thuringia, where several generations of the Bach family have lived.
In 2024, it celebrates its 20th anniversary, just like Vox Luminis!
To mark the occasion, we will be in residence for three days: 28 March, 12 and 13 April 2024.
On 28 March, we will be performing Johann Sebastiani’s Matthäus Passion and Agostino Steffani’s Stabat Mater, two particularly remarkable works in the repertoire of sacred baroque music.
On 12 April, as part of our 20th anniversary celebrations to mark Easter, we will be performing an oratorio by Bach and a mass by Zelenka. It’s an original way of celebrating our 20th anniversary with two very special works.
Finally, on 13 April we’ll be working with composer Caroline Shaw (Pulitzer Prize and Grammy Awards). In the space of a week, she will compose a new work especially for Vox Luminis, based on Bach’s cantata BWV 147 Herz und Mund und Tat und Leben.
A world premiere!
