Description
»The world seeks honour and glory among highly exalted people«, wrote the text author 300 years ago for Johann Sebastian Bach’s cantata. The Ensemble CONTINUUM brings the timeless messages of Bach’s music into an exciting dialogue with the evocative harpsichord concerto by American composer Caroline Shaw.
In cooperation with Münsterbasilika St. Martin
