In association with the International Bach Festival Stuttgart.

The 3rd International Bach Festival Stuttgart concludes on Johann Sebastian Bach’s birthday, the 21st March. The festive final church service will be given by Cantus Stuttgart and Jörg-Hannes Hahn in the late Gothic Stadtkirche in Bad Cannstatt. This will include vocal and organ works by the Bach family, including the magnificent five-part choral motet “Ich weiß, dass mein Erlöser lebt” by Bach’s father-in-law Johann Michael Bach, as well as the highly virtuosic “Tristis est anima mea” by the “Catholic Bach” Jan Dismas Zelenka.
