Bach en famille

Marc Mauillon : baritone
7 instrumentists

Johann-Sebastian Bach was spending his life with music, morning to night, at home or at school, at church, at the bar…When people speak about Bach’s musical family, there is on one hand his close family : his wife, his daughters, his sons (they all sung and played some instruments), and on the other hand plenty students he welcomed home such as Krebs or Altnikol (who will become his son-in-law). There are also his predecessors who trained him as Johann-Christoph Bach or Georg Böhm. This creation wants to enlightened the musical abundance in the Bach’s family in Lepizig during the 1730’s ; between musical sparring, early prayers or instrumental virtuosity.

This program Bach en famille is supported by the Cité de la Voix.
