| Ensemble Pygmalion | |
| Raphaël Pichon | Musikalische Leitung |
Pygmalion and conductor Raphaël Pichon are globally renowned for exceptional concerts that transcend the performance of beautiful music. Something extraordinary is also set to unfold when they return to the Muziekgebouw. Welt, gute Nacht is a story that, driven by wartime suffering, leads to the earliest cantatas of Johann Sebastian Bach. Work by other members of the Bach family are also performed. A sweeping musical journey, with the history of the world as its canvas.
The pain of war, death, destruction, and the search for solace are of all times. Pygmalion explores intimate, soothing songs from the era of the Thirty Years’ War, which ravaged Europe in the early 17th century – a conflict some call the ‘first world war’. Johann Sebastian Bach was profoundly influenced by the music of that time. War and peace in a musical nutshell.
