Probably there is no match for the Bach family from Thuringia in Germany in terms of producingso many outstanding musicians and composers. The Bachs were musically active from the mid-16th century throught the latter half of the 19th century. In other words: the  diversity of interesting Bach music is inconceivable. Too great a choice then for Peter Van  Heyghen, but eventually he managed to put together an excellent concert programme with compositions of three major baroque Bachs. Pride of place is given to a few famous works for orchestra by – how could it be otherwise – Johann Sebastian. There will also be music by his nephew Johann Bernhard, whose suites emulate the music of Georg Philipp Telemann. And to cap it all the residents of AMUZ bring two symphonies of Sebastian’s second son Carl Philipp Emanuel, who also happened to be Telemann’s godchild.
