Arrival

For decades, they have been international standard-bearers of Bach interpretation: the Bach Collegium Japan under the direction of Masaaki Suzuki. Their goal is nothing short of carrying the music of the Leipzig Thomaskantor from its time of creation through the past and present into the future, imparting and translating it for today's audience.

With their global touring project, «The 300th Anniversary Project of Choral Cantatas,» the Japanese Bach enthusiasts are gracing the Innsbruck Festival. The program conducted under the tutelage of Koopman's pupil is perfectly aligned with the fundamental questions shaping the festival: «Where do we come from? Where are we going?» Bach's verses, set to music, beautifully emphasize these themes: «Why should I care for the world (...) O eternity, you thunderous word.»
