Intimate Bach: International Bach Festival

The Alfredo Kraus Auditorium presents "Intimate Bach" as part of the International Bach Festival (IBF), a program that explores the aesthetic connections between Bach, Mozart and Mendelssohn through the contrapuntal tradition in chamber music. The journey spans from the formal balance and expressive depth of Mozart’s String Quintet in G minor, K. 516 to the virtuosity and energy of Mendelssohn’s Octet in E-flat major, Op. 20, a cornerstone of the chamber repertoire that draws on Bach’s structural clarity and projects it into a Romantic language of great intensity and compositional maturity.
