Os Bachs
Nova Era Vocal Ensemble & Orquestra 1755
Under the direction of conductor João Barros, this programme guides us through the compositions of a family known as a remarkable example of musical talent passed down through seven generations. Originating in Thuringia, Germany, members of the Bach family developed and received strong musical training from the 13th century onwards, sharing knowledge among themselves and upholding a high standard of excellence. The programme includes pieces for choir, soloists, and orchestra, all set against the backdrop of the era’s characteristic spirituality.
