Bach – The Revolution Orchestra

340 years after his birth, the Revolution Orchestra returns to the music of Johann Sebastian Bach, one of the greatest composers of all time, in a contemporary and original interpretation.

Original compositions and bold new arrangements inspired by the music of one of the greatest composers of all time. Leading soloists engage in a vivid, living dialogue with Bach, a conversation that bridges centuries through sound.

Program Highlights:

The Partita in E major inspired violinist and composer Yonatan Keren to create a concerto for violin, looper, and orchestra. Soloist: Yonatan Keren

The Partita in A minor guided Zohar Sharon in composing a journey for bansuri, ney, and flute. Soloist: Lilly-Ann Batzalel

The second movement of the Harpsichord Concerto in A minor became, in the hands of Avner Kelmer and Salit Lahav, a vibrant Brazilian fantasy for accordion — full of rhythm, emotion, and light. Soloist: Salit Lahav

Bach’s sacred vocal works inspired Guy Frati and Shahar Shamay to create a Hebrew homage. With Moran Singers Ensemble

To conclude, Yonatan Keren composed a Concerto Grosso featuring all the soloists and Moran Singers Ensemble.
