History & Mission: |
In 1981, the Internationale Bachakademie Stuttgart (Stuttgart International Bach Academy) was founded by Helmuth Rilling. The Bach Academy and its ensembles Gächinger Kantorei Stuttgart and Bach-Collegium Stuttgart are now internationally acclaimed benchmarks of excellent music production and communication. To this day, Helmuth Rilling as the Academy's artistic leader has been its prevailing influence. Furthermore, he is an eminent figure leading the Gächinger Kantorei Stuttgart and the Bach-Collegium Stuttgart as well as being a sought-after guest conductor around the world. Since 2008, director Christian Lorenz has been shaping the Bach Academy's conceptual future. Today, the Academy's work may be best summarised into three fields of activity: Performances, Ensembles, Music mediation. |
|
The Internationale Bachakademie Stuttgart (International Bach Academy in Stuttgart) combines in a special way the "thinking about music" with the practice. The Bachwoche Stuttgart is a prime example of the combination of master-classes and panel discussions with general studies, church services, concerts and talk shows. |
