Bach – The Revolution Orchestra

340 years after his birth, the Revolution Orchestra returns to the music of Johann Sebastian Bach, one of the greatest composers of all time, in a contemporary and original interpretation.

Original compositions and bold new arrangements inspired by the music of one of the greatest composers of all time. Leading soloists engage in a vivid, living dialogue with Bach, a conversation that bridges centuries through sound.

Program Highlights:

The second movement of the Harpsichord Concerto in A minor became, in the hands of Avner Kelmer and Salit Lahav, a vibrant Brazilian fantasy for accordion — full of rhythm, emotion, and light.
