  Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach

There was a time in the late 18th century when "Bach" was widely known not by his father, Johann Sebastian, but by his sons, especially Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach. His music fascinated many composers with its sharp emotional expression and bold compositions, and Haydn and Mozart learned from him with deep respect. In addition to C.P.E. Bach, this performance will shed light on Johann Christian Bach and Wilhelm Friedemann Bach. The music, which shines with the three's individuality of freedom, improvisation, and elegant songfulness, is surprisingly fresh and expressive, and each time you listen to it, you will discover something new. Through these works, which are rarely performed today, this concert will allow the audience to enjoy and experience anew the original sounds created by the three Bach composers and the great influence they had on composers of later generations.
