Johann Sebastian Bachwas likely the greatest musical craftsman and the most influentialcomposer in the history of Western Art music. His influence spans to every genre and timeperiod.Bach to the Futurefeatures Bach as well as later composers inspired by his work.

• Alban Berg’s Violin Concerto (1935) “to the memory of an angel” quotes Bach’s Cantata BWV 60 O Ewigkeit, du
  Donnerwort (O eternity, you thunderous word), creating a haunting commentary around it.
• The entire last movement of the 4th Symphony by Johannes Brahms is based on Bach’s Cantata BWV 150 Nach dir, Herr, verlanget mich (For Thee, O Lord, I long).
• Music Director, Tomasz Golka conducts his orchestration of Bach’s Passacaglia and Fugue in C minor, BWV 582 — an unusual, eclectic, and at times jazz-inspired version.

Soloist: Sam Fischer, violin
