Bach24

March 21 will be the day on which Johann Sebastian Bach was born 330 years ago. To mark the occasion, the Palace of Arts will be “on Bach call” for 24 hours. Between 10 PM on March 20 and 10 PM on March 21, renown organists from Hungary and abroad will perform all of Bach’s organ works at fourteen concerts lined up according to a carefully structured range of themes. Needless to say, the organ at the Béla Bartók National Concert Hall will serve as the base. The ambience is set to be less formal than visitors of classical concerts are used to in general: they can lounge around on beanbags on the stage while listening to the music, and check out the spots with the best acoustics. Complementary programmes at the Glass Hall and the Foyer will add diversity to the event (Bach-lounge, Bach-workshop, organ lessons).
