Bach to the roots

Ensemble Uwaga! brings its programme "Bach to the roots" to the church ruin in Wachau - a musical exploration tracing the legacy of Johann Sebastian Bach, arguably Leipzig's most famous former resident.

Violin, accordion, double bass and percussion cast his music in a new light, weaving in Balkan rhythms, improvisation, jazz and original sonic ideas to create a dialogue between tradition and the present that reaches well beyond chamber music.

The concert takes place outdoors. If it rains, the event moves to the village church in Störmthal.
