About the Event
Immerse yourself in the stunning architecture of Amsterdam's breathtaking De Waalse Kerk for the ultimate concert set to awake your understanding of music.
Chamber Choir PA'dam and De Waalse Kerk present some of Bach's most beautiful cantatas in the series “Bach on Friday.” Each concert will focus on one cantata, always showing Bach in a different light. You will also hear a work by a female composer at each concert. Start your weekend off right with perhaps the greatest composer who ever lived: Johann Sebastian Bach.
Bach & Family: a family of musicians
In this edition of Bach on Friday, meet the Bach family! This famous German family of musicians from the 17th and 18th centuries, with Johann Sebastian Bach as its most famous member, consisted of several generations of composers, organists and musicians. Together they had a great influence on Baroque music and left an impressive musical legacy.
About Bach on Friday
How did Johann Sebastian Bach influence composers centuries after him? And what did the works of other members of the Bach family sound like? Get to know Bach and gems by other composers better with chamber choir PA'dam and the Nicolaas Consort. In a carefully composed program by artistic director Maria van Nieukerken and organist Wim Dijkstra, you will not only have the opportunity to enjoy beautiful music, but you will also learn more about the composers themselves. With live musical examples and explanations by Gustavo Trujillo, the music comes to life!
