Our Programs and Our CreationsComme Bach

Comme Bach

J.S. Bach, F. Mendelssohn, J. Brahms

With this program, Joël Suhubiette and the chamber choir Les éléments invite us on a journey through German sacred music. Images of a modernity that draws its sources and inspiration from the work of the Leipzig cantor, compositions by Mendelssohn and Brahms, either a capella or with basso continuo, are mirrored by some of Johann Sebastian Bach's motets and cantata excerpts.
