Bach Festival Dordrecht invites Mallet Collective to put Bach in the now. And the ensemble is doing just that with two commissions featuring a "re-imagination" of Bach's best-known two harpsichord concertos. Anne-Maartje Lemereis inspired her Lumen (2021) on Bach's first harpsichord concerto in d-minor, and Greg Saunier (drummer & bandleader Deerhoof) chose Bach's double concerto in C. Amidst these cornerstones, the other two double concertos for two harpsichords in their own arrangements by Ramon Lormans and Georgi Tsenov will be interpreted on 6 marimbas.
This program is made possible in part by Adams Muziekcentrale and Percussion Friends.
