Set to be held with loads of fresh imagination, originality and bold programming, and taking full advantage of available resources, the third Bach Festival of Barcelona will be filling the city with the great composer\u2019s music.<\/em>[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”40px”][vc_column_text]\n

The Festival\u2019s history<\/h2>\n

Bachcelona is a festival with an unwavering commitment to quality<\/strong>. Over the course of its history, it has hosted the foremost international artists<\/strong> specialised in Bach, including \u2013\u00a0in addition to Ton Koopman\u00a0\u2013 such prominent figures as Tini Mathot and Juan de la Rubia (2014), Catherine Manson, Werner Matzke and Sebastian K\u00fcchler-Blessing (2015), Klaus Mertens, John Crockatt and Philippe Thuriot (2016), Stephan Macleod, Leila Schayegh and Bertrand Cuiller (2017), Shunske Sato, Michel Brun and Clara Pouvreau (2018), and V\u00e1clav Luks, Sabine Bauer and Petra M\u00fcllejans (2019).<\/p>\n

Innovation<\/strong> is another of the Festival\u2019s characteristic traits. In all the activities that we host within the framework of Bachcelona, we seek to reach beyond the concert format<\/strong>. We always foster artistic interaction<\/strong> with other disciplines such as theatre<\/strong> (featuring La Fura dels Baus in the 2016 event, with great public and critical success), contemporary dance<\/strong> (with Lorena Nogal in 2017), cinema<\/strong> (through our yearly film cycle, which we have been holding at the Filmoteca, Barcelona\u2019s cinematheque, since 2015), and visual arts<\/strong> (with the display of the complete set of prints by Eduardo Chillida entitled \u201cHommage \u00e0 Johann Sebastian Bach\u201d, in 2014).[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”50″][vc_video link=”https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=sSw1J6NBth4″][vc_column_text][\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”50″][vc_column_text]Likewise, at Bachcelona we present proposals of musical fusion<\/strong> with other styles such as jazz<\/strong> (Llibert Fortuny, Manel Camp and Mireia Farr\u00e9s, 2013), African percussion<\/strong> (Virginie Robilliard and Thomas Gue\u00ef, 2016), Cuban music (the Roberto Fonseca Trio and its Cubach<\/em> concert in 2017), or the Brazilian tradition<\/strong> (Sambach project, 2019).<\/p>\n

We also strive to heighten the Festival experience<\/strong> with the concerts and participatory activities<\/strong> of the BZM project, which have been held at the Palau de la M\u00fasica (in the Petit Palau building), and with recreational activities like Balla Bach (Dance Bach)<\/em> at the Pla\u00e7a del Rei or Swing Bach<\/em> at the Sant Pau Art Nouveau Site.<\/p>\n

Other important goals of the Bachcelona Festival are the dissemination of music<\/strong> through the organisation of conferences, round tables and guided tours (such as those of the Music Museum with Joan Vives), and family activities<\/strong> aimed to acquaint children with classical music (including those held by Ton Koopman, a highly respected Dutch musician, in five consecutive festivals).<\/p>\n

And last but not least, at Bachcelona we support young talent<\/strong> through grants awarded to singers (the Salvat Bach Grant<\/strong>, sponsored by Laboratorios Salvat, allows four vocal soloists to take part in Bachcelona\u2019s Opening Concert each year); the Bachcelona Special Prize<\/strong> (to let the winners of the Young Musicians of Spain Antique Music Contest participate in the following year\u2019s Festival); and masterclasses<\/strong> held by different well-known musicians.
