Thuringian Bach Festival

From Arnstadt to Weimar: in many towns in Thuringia, you can explore the history of the baroque composer and organ virtuoso Johann Sebastian Bach and his family. The Thuringian Bach Festival highlights the composer's historical legacy in the region by hosting concerts and readings at places where he lived or worked. A special feature of the festival is the Hausmusik day. On the evening before the opening concert, musicians – young and old, professional and amateur – perform Bach's music in a place where it is still very much alive today: in the home.
