“But it is Bach, making music in the Castle of Heaven, who gives us the voice of God – in human form. He is the one who blazes a trail, showing us how to overcome our imperfections through the perfections of his music: to make divine things human and human things divine.”
MUSIC IN THE CASTLE OF HEAVEN
– Sir John Eliot Gardiner
“With thoughtful, well-researched performances and an elegantly constructed program, Easton and Bach Akademie Australia offered an opportunity to really dig down deep into Bach’s words and music – a profound and rewarding experience.”
“This was an evening of inspiration and revelation. Madeleine Easton’s delicate but firm and scholarly leadership brought to the stage, a superlative performance of matchless repertoire.”
Bach Akademie Australia is dedicated to putting Johann Sebastian Bach's music front and centre on the national landscape for audiences of all ages. We do this because music is not just entertainment — it's nourishment for the heart and soul, and it's a bridge between people.
Our generous family of supporters is what sustains and enables us. We invite you to consider making a donation to support the Akademie’s vision of bringing Bach’s music to life in contemporary Australia.
All donations over $2 are fully tax-deductible. Every gift, big or small, makes a difference.
Our next program explores the genre of the baroque violin concerto. In ‘The Art of Violin’, concertos by Bach, Vivaldi, Telemann, Handel and Leclair are performed by Artistic Director Madeleine Easton, Rafael Font and Simone Slattery. If you are a lover of the violin, this program is for you.
