NoonSong featuring choral music by J.S. Bach and his students
In this summer NoonSong, Sirventes Berlin performs masterful and unique choral music by Johann Sebastian Bach. His student G.A. Homilius reinterpreted the master’s legacy in the style of the Empfindsamkeit. A generation later, Chr. H. Rinck, a student of Bach’s own students, had already embraced the Romantic style without abandoning his connection to Bach’s music.
