About the Concert

"Not Bach, he should be called the sea." This is how Beethoven summed up his admiration for the father of whole generations of composers. Max Reger expressed his admiration by composing the most diverse variations with the four tones that represent the four letters of the name Bach. Of course, only connoisseurs can hear where these tones appear, but that's not really the point, it's about the power and musical energy that speaks directly to us from this mighty "Fantasy and Fugue." Isabelle Demers, who will play it on our concert hall organ, has chosen a masterpiece by Bach and a piece by Rachel Laurin, who, like herself, is also from Canada. Invited by the Dresden Philharmonic.
