About the programme

For the first time Stuttgart hosts an International Bach Festival in 2025. The festive final church service will be given by Cantus and the Bachorchester Stuttgart under the direction of Jörg-Hannes Hahn in the late Gothic Stadtkirche in Bad Cannstatt. The music performed includes J. S. Bach’s Cantata “Alles, was von Gott geboren”, composed for the third Sunday in Lent in 1716 in Weimar and only reconstructed a few years ago, and the tender five-part chorale motet “Ich weiß, dass mein Erlöser lebt” by Bach’s father-in-law Johann Michael Bach.
