VI. INTERNATIONAL FESTIVAL OF THE WINTER SEASON
“BACH CONTEMPORARY”

The “Bach Contemporary” festival at the Myroslav Skoryk Lviv National Philharmonic is taking place for the sixth time and is a great opportunity to rediscover the master’s masterpieces.

Known to all music fans without exception, the immortal Johann Sebastian during various periods of his life embodied so many musical ideas that this creativity acquired the meaning of the infinity of the universe. And gather into a single entity all those influenced by Bach’s work, who were obsessed with his ideas in different ways and tried to give them life and interpret them in their own way. A whole community of enthusiasts in love with the music of the genius will immediately form. And this is nothing but a separate branch of the Christian religion!

Our program will feature various compositions by Bach himself, and, without exaggeration, the most popular work of all time and eras – “Seasons” by Antonio Vivaldi. Therefore, this concert should become a preamble to the VI. International Winter Festival “Bach Contemporary”, got the title “Bachiana”.
