A prelude to the celebrations of the 300th anniversary of the birth of C. P. E. Bach

KARPENISI Conference Centre

Perhaps inevitably, the unique figure of Johann Sebastian Bach often overshadows the singular talents of several of his sons and their important contributions to the development of European music. In the festive spirit of Christmas, the well-known Baroque specialist, Markellos Chrysikopoulos joins forces with four outstanding soloists and invites the audience to enjoy Brandenburg Concerto No.1 by Johann Sebastian Bach, as well as extracts of two devout religious works by Johannes Christian and Carl Philip Emmanuel Bach.
