The Bach Experience
Leipzig 1723 — Valparaiso 2023
In June of 1723, J.S. Bach assumed his appointment as
valpo.edu/bach Thomaskantor and began one of the great compositional feats
in the history of music, writing approximately 125 newly
composed cantatas in three years. Beginning in 2023, the
Bach Institute at Valparaiso University will begin The Bach
Experience — a chronologic performance series that will
explore the deeper essence of what Bach sought to reveal to
the congregation of the St. Thomas Church, Leipzig.
The Bach Experience will perform the cantatas in a sensory
rich environment exploring themes and story telling that
will transform the experience for every listener.
