“Back to Bach – Special Edition” Set to Enchant Florence

If you find yourself in Florence on October 26th, brace yourself for a singular musical journey that beautifully merges the harmonies of sacred music with the vibrant rhythms of jazz. This is the backdrop of the upcoming “Back to Bach – Special Edition”, set in the magnificent Cattedrale di Santa Maria del Fiore.

Sacred Music and Jazz: A Harmonious Union

At 9:15 pm, sacred tunes and jazz will intertwine, resulting in an unexpected and mesmerizing auditory experience. This magical fusion is brought to you by Opera di Santa Maria del Fiore and Musicus Concentus, who, after the success of “Altissima Luce – Laudario di Cortona”, present another can’t-miss event for music lovers.

Originating in 2012 under the title “Back to Bach”, and showcased at the Chiesa di San Fermo in Verona, it now returns with a diversified special edition. The repertoire promises to take its audience on a sonic journey from Bach to contemporary sounds, diving deep into the rhythmic and harmonic interactions between baroque music and jazz improvisation.

A Heart-Stirring Performance

Attendees can expect a presentation rich in emotional and visual impact. Musicians from the ensemble and soloists will make their entrance from different parts of the cathedral, breaking the silence with soulful, profound notes.

A highlight is the joint presence of Paolo Fresu, Daniele Di Bonaventura, and Uri Caine, sharing the stage for the first time, promising unique choices in the repertoire and bestowing an exclusive flair to the event.
