Bach with marimba

Classical music concert performing works by Johann Sebastian Bach on the marimba, at the Palau de la Música Catalana in Barcelona.

Johann Sebastian Bach (1685-1750), the German Baroque composer, is the focus of this classical music concert, which presents his repertoire performed on the marimba, a percussion instrument made of wooden bars. Bach's writing, based on counterpoint and polyphony, is thus transferred to a timbre different from the one usually associated with his works.

The Palau de la Música Catalana in Barcelona hosts exhibitions and cultural activities and, on this occasion, a classical music programme devoted to the work of Bach.

It is aimed at those who follow classical music and want to hear Bach's Baroque repertoire played on a percussion instrument that is uncommon in it.
